Brazilian Pasteles
Serves: 4 people
 
3/4 cup flour
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons lard
1 3/4 tablespoons water
1/2 tsp salt
 
Put flour into a bowl and cut in butter and lard until the mixture
resembles coarse meal. Add three fourths of the water and the salt.
Mix to form a soft dough, adding more water if needed. Form into
a flat cake and wrap in plastic. Chill at least 20 minutes. Roll
dough out to 1/16 inch thickness. Cut into circles. Spoon desired
filling onto dough circles, fold to form half-moon shapes. Bake at
400 for about 20 minutes.

Pasteles can be filled with roasted vegetables, meats, or fruits.
