Sift flour into a large bowl and add salt. Use a fork or a dough blender to cut the fats into the flour until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
Add enough cold water to bind. Cover and put to chill in a refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
Place veggie mince into a bowl; empty contents of the seasoning packet, add boiling water, cover and allow to rehydrate for 10-15 minutes.
Heat Grace Vegetable Oil in a frying pan. Add chopped escallion, onion, garlic and sweet pepper and cook for about one minute.
Mix in the rehydrated veggie mince and cook stirring constantly for about 10 minutes. Mix in the thyme leaves, white pepper, soy sauce and the Grace Hot Pepper Sauce and cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Remove from flame and allow to cool.
Roll out the chilled pastry dough on a clean floured surface to a 1/4 inch in thickness. Use round cookie cutters to cut circles in the dough.
Spoon one tablespoon of cooled filling on each circle. Brush the edge of the pastry dough with cold water. Cover by folding in half like an envelope. Use the tinesen-GB of a fork to seal the edges.
Prick the surface of the patties with a fork and place on an un-greased baking tray.
Whisk egg and water together (to make egg wash) and use to brush over the surface of the patties. Place in a pre-heated oven and bake at 375°F for 25 minutes.
