DOUGH: sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Pour in the boiling water
and stir vigorously. FILLING:Mix all the ingredients for the filling
making sure they are thoroughly combined. Divide the dough into four
equal portions, then roll one into a long strip and cut it into ten
small pieces. Roll these pieces of dough into small rounds. On half
the rounds, pile a little of the filling, then cover them with the
remaining circles, pinching the edges together thoroughly to seal in
the filling. Continue cutting, shaping and filling the remaining
three-quarters of the dough in this way. Place the filled circles in
a greased steamer, then cook them over boiling water for 5 minutes.
BATTER: sift the flour baking powder, salt and cornflour into a bowl,
then beat in the water and oil until smooth. Heat the oil for deep
frying to 190 c/375 F. Dip the pies in the batter then deep fry until
golden. Drain and garnish. then serve.
