In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
Add the chilled cubed butter and use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Mix in the cold water gradually, stirring with a fork until the dough begins to come together.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Stir in the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the meat with paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.
Preheat the oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into small circles or rectangles, depending on your preferred pastry shape.
Place a spoonful of the meat mixture onto one side of each dough circle or rectangle.
Beat the egg in a small bowl, using it to brush the edges of the dough. Fold the pastry over the filling and press the edges to seal.
Arrange the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free savory meat pastries warm.
