Ingredients

Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. In a small bowl, mix egg and milk. Brush over the kibinai. Prick the top with a fork.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Let cool slightly before serving.
  5. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with sour cream or mustard.
  6. Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
