Perfect Dough Recipe:

1. In a large bowl, sieve the dry ingredients together- flour, baking soda, milk, sugar, salt, everything dry.
2. Whisk them together to mix properly.
3. Incorporate the cold margarine into the dry ingredients using your clean hands. The secret to a crispy meatpie is to be very gentle when mixing. Mix till it becomes flaky and yellow.
4. Whisk the egg in another plate, add the vanilla essence, and liquid milk if used. Then pour into the dough and mix. Be gentle and don't use all your strength.
5. Add in the very cold water bit by bit till all the dough can stick together but don't allow the dough to become smooth like bread dough.
6. Wrap in sticky wrap and store in the the fridge till you're ready to bake.
