These delightful savory pockets are filled with a flavorful mixture of seasoned beef, cabbage, and onions, all wrapped in a soft, golden dough.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, evaporated milk, and yeast. Stir until the yeast dissolves.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast effectively.
Add the sugar, salt, and egg to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Add the flour in increments to avoid overmixing and achieve the right consistency.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out during resting.
In a skillet, melt the butter and cook the ground beef until browned. Add the shredded cabbage and chopped onion, and cook until softened.
Stir frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Season the filling with salt and pepper, then let it cool slightly.
Taste the filling and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut it into 4-inch squares.
Use a ruler or template for consistent square sizes.
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each square, fold the edges over, and seal tightly.
Pinch the edges firmly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
Arrange the pockets on a greased baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
Let the pockets cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade savory pockets!
Serve with a side of dipping sauce or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
