Method
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a skillet, cook onion until soft. Add ground meat, caraway seeds, paprika, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook until meat is browned and fully cooked. Let cool.
- Cut puff pastry into 8-10 squares. Place a spoonful of meat mixture in the center of each square. Fold to form a triangle and press edges to seal.
- In a small bowl, mix egg and milk. Brush over the kibinai. Prick the top with a fork.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with sour cream or mustard.
- Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
