Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • all-purpose flour
  • salt
  • baking powder
  • 1 whole large egg
  • vinegar or lemon juice
  • vegetable oil
  • warm water
Whisk salt and baking powder into the flour; make a well and add the beaten egg, vinegar or lemon juice, plenty of oil and warm water; mix by hand to a very soft ball.
Knead on a floured surface 3 to 4 minutes until smooth, soft and elastic.
Rest the wrapped dough in the fridge for an hour or two.
  • 3 whole russets
Boil the peeled, quartered russets in salted water until just tender; drain well and mash.
  • leftover corned beef
  • leftover braised cabbage
Chop the corned beef and cabbage fine.
  • 1 whole onion
  • butter
  • salt
Cook the onion in melted butter over medium heat with a big pinch of salt, with the corned beef and cabbage, about 10 minutes until golden and the fat renders.
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • cayenne
Mix into the potatoes with kosher salt, black pepper and cayenne; taste and cool to room temperature.
Press half the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface and roll to about an eighth of an inch thick.
Rolling out and filling
  • 1 whole egg
  • 2 tsp water
Lay about three cups of cooled filling three inches from the edge; brush egg wash along the opposite edge.
Stretch the dough over the filling and roll up, leaving a couple of inches to stretch over the top; seam down, press the ends, trim.
Mark into eight equal portions with a bench scraper, then cut through with a floured side of the hand.
Stand each piece on a cut end and press into a puck, tucking into the center.
  • oil
Brush the bottoms generously with oil, place on a lined baking sheet, brush all over with egg wash (optional).
Bake in the center of a 375 degree oven about 40 minutes until lightly golden; serve warm or at room temperature.
