Recipe - Paselitos

Dough
1 One half cup Unbleached white flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
One half teaspoon Salt
6 tablespoon Lard or vegetable oil;
chilled
3 One half tablespoon Cold water
1 Egg
1 tablespoon Milk
filling
1 cup Dried fruit; cooked and
drained
1/3 cup Sugar
1 tablespoon Honey
One fourth teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Mash the cooked fruit and add sugar, honey, and cinnamon. Stir well.

Preheat oven to 400 F. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing
bowl. Cut lard until the mixture resembles a fine meal. Slowly add water
until dough is easy to roll. Roll out to 1/4inch thickness, and cut into
4inch rounds. Put one tablespoon of fruit filling on onehalf of each
round, fold over the other half of the round, and pinch edges together
firmly. Prick the tops in several places with the tines of a fork. Mix egg
with milk and brush on the tops of the pies. Bake for 15 minutes or until
lightly browned. Makes 10 Paselitos.
