"To make the Middle Eastern hand pies, Gaines utilizes canned biscuits for the crust, which is a genius solution for those times when you really can't think about making your own dough. Canned biscuits not only have delicious flavor, but they're also conveniently pre-cut to the perfect size for fatayer. Gaines simply separates them and rolls them out into thin discs on a floured surface until they measure about five to six inches wide before adding her filling."
"Her brand of choice is Pillsbury, but any canned biscuits should work and there are so many clever ways to use them if you have extra. She posted her recipe on the Magnolia site and also made a YouTube short demonstrating the process. The other trick she shared? Using frozen hash browns to thicken the filling. She opts for the shredded kind and thaws them before adding to the other ingredients, which include ground beef, onion, cheese, and seasonings."
Joanna Gaines adapts fatayer by using canned biscuits as a quick, pre-cut crust, rolling each biscuit into a five- to six-inch disc. The filling combines ground beef, onion, cheese, seasonings, and thawed shredded frozen hash browns to add body. Pillsbury is cited as a preferred biscuit brand, though any canned biscuits or simple pizza dough can substitute. Fatayer are traditional savory pies often eaten around Ramadan, commonly filled with meat, spinach, cheese, or za'atar, and modern variations increasingly include potatoes. Seasonings like sumac and allspice and cheese-only options are common alternatives.
