Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, vegetable oil, and eggs in the pantry aisles of local Marshall Islands grocery stores. Mayonnaise is widely available in the condiments section. For fillings, fresh vegetables or meats can be sourced from local markets or the refrigerated sections of supermarkets.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the flour.
- Gradually incorporate the remaining flour, kneading with your hands until a homogeneous dough forms that no longer sticks to your fingers.
- The resulting dough should have a light, slightly crumbly consistency.
- Line a baking dish with half of the prepared dough, ensuring the bottom and sides are well covered.
- Distribute your chosen filling evenly over the dough base.
- Cover the filling with the remaining half of the dough, spreading it uniformly to seal the pie.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and the vegetable oil.
- Brush this glaze over the entire surface of the pie.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dough is fully cooked through.
