3-4 tbs cold water
pinch salt
1 egg for glazing
METHOD

into the flour until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs.

INGREDIENTS: Filling
1 onion finely chopped
1 clove garlic - crushed
350g-400g cooked beef (from Sunday roast)
350 ml beef stock
1-2 tbs of plain flour (depending on how thick you like your gravy)
Left over vegetables
