Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   For the Pulled Pork, wash the meat the day before and pat dry with kitchen paper. In a bowl mix paprika powder, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, sea salt and 1 pinch of pepper. Massage mustard into the meat with your hands.

2. 2

   Rub vigorously with the spice mix. Wrap the meat in foil and chill overnight.

3. 3

   Preheat oven the next day (electric cooker: 150 °C/circulating air: 100 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Unroll the meat, place it on the fat pan of the oven and slide it onto the middle rail of the oven. Cook meat in the hot oven for approx. 6 hours.

4. 4

   For the BBQ Peach sauce, peel the onions and garlic cloves and cut into large pieces. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan. Sauté the onions and garlic for about 2 minutes. Then add peaches and juice and bring to the boil.

5. 5

   Stir in ketchup, Worcester sauce, brown sugar, paprika powder, cayenne pepper and apple vinegar, simmer for approx. 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Puree the sauce with a hand blender. Season to taste with salt, cayenne pepper and sugar.

6. 6

   During the cooking time, brush the meat 2-3 times all around with BBQ sauce.

7. 7

   For the pie dough, grease the hollows of the muffin tin. Put flour, butter, 2 eggs, 3 tablespoons cold water, balsamic vinegar, curry powder and 1 pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl. Knead with the dough hooks of the mixer to a smooth dough.

8. 8

   Wrap the dough in foil. Chill for about 30 minutes. Whisk egg yolk and 1 tbsp. milk with a fork. Put it in a cold place.

9. 9

   Remove meat from the oven. Heat up the oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 180 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Use two forks to cut the meat into small pieces. Mix half of the BBQ Peach sauce with the meat.

10. 10

    Roast the meat again in the oven for about 10 minutes. Take out. Please leave the oven on. The pies will be baked soon!

11. 11

    Peep parade! Knead the dough again with your hands until smooth. Then roll out on a floured work surface with a cake roll 3-4 mm thin. Cut out a total of 12 circles (each approx. 12 cm Ø) from the dough.

12. 12

    Mother's trick: Draw a template on a piece of baking paper with a compass, cut it out, place it on the dough and cut along the template with a kitchen knife. Press circles of dough into the recesses of the muffin tray so that the dough protrudes slightly.

13. 13

    Knead the dough again, roll out and cut out another 12 smaller circles (approx. 10 cm Ø each). Fill the hollows with meat and spread 1-2 teaspoons of BBQ sauce on top. Brush over protruding edges of the dough with the egg milk.

14. 14

    Place the smaller dough circles on top as a lid, press lightly. Spread the lid with the rest of the egg milk. Bake the pies in a hot oven for about 15 minutes. Take them out. Carefully remove the pies from the rim with a small kitchen knife.

15. 15

    Possibly paint small smileys on the lid of the pedestal with balsamic cream. Done! Tip: With the remaining Pulled Pork and the BBQ sauce you can make cool burgers pretty quickly.
