The dough recipe is very similar to a basic French choux pastry but without the eggs. It may seem weird to start a dough in the saucepan if you aren’t familiar with this method, but it is seriously one of the quickest and easiest doughs to work with. It does need to chill for a minimum of 2 hours, so keep that in mind as you plan this recipe! I have not tried the dough with whole wheat flour, but feel free to start by substituting only half the all-purpose with white whole wheat flour (preferably). For the beef filling: The recipe below is for a very basic beef filling. Feel free to omit or change practically anything – it’s meant to be customized! Note that the filling recipe makes a generous amount, if you have leftovers feel free to store in the fridge. I like to use it for lettuce wraps, scrambling with eggs, or filling a burrito.
