Ingredients

Dough

  • ½ cup Coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon Pysllium husk powder
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 6 tablespoons Coconut oil
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper
  • ½ cup Boiling Water

Filling

  • 4 Spring onions chopped
  • ½ cup Cheddar cheese grated
  • ¼ cup Mozzarella cheese grated
  • 1 Egg, beaten to glaze

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F degrees
  • Place all the dry ingredients in a bowl and blend well.
  • Add the oil and egg and stir until combined.
  • Add the boiling water, gradually until you have a dough. Firm up with your hands.
  • Roll out the dough by placing it on a piece of parchment paper, place another piece of parchment paper on top, then roll out. 
  • Cut out 4 large circles
  • Place the circles on top of a parchment paper lined baking tin.
  • Spoon the filling ingredients over half the circles.
  • Fold half of the dough over the filling to make half circles and press down the edges. I used a fork for a pattern and to firm the edges.
  • Brush the tops of the dough with the beaten egg.
