👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
For the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk egg with cold water and gradually add to flour mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Knead briefly on a floured surface until smooth. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

For the filling: In a skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until softened. Stir in tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes. Stir in mashed potatoes until well combined. Let the filling cool completely.

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 6 inches in diameter).
- 4
Place a generous spoonful of filling on one half of each dough circle. Moisten the edges with water and fold the other half over, pressing to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork.

Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the pastelitos in batches until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove pastelitos with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with curtido and salsa roja.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव
- ✓Ensure the filling is completely cool before assembling to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
- ✓Don't overcrowd the skillet when frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in greasy pastelitos.
- ✓For a spicier filling, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or finely chopped jalapeño.
