Quantity Ingredient
---Dough---
1½ cup Unbleached white flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
½ teaspoon Salt
6 tablespoons Lard or vegetable oil; chilled
3½ tablespoon Cold water
1 Egg
1 tablespoon Milk -filling---
1 cup Dried fruit; cooked and drained
⅓ cup Sugar
1 tablespoon Honey
¼ teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

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 ¼-inch thickness, and cut into 4-inch rounds. Put one tablespoon of fruit filling on one-half 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.
