PASTRY

Sure...if someone could name them! I know they are a traditional mexican dessert but I can't think of their name! This is what I did...

You can vary these spices--I really am just estimating..cause I just dumpted them in, to be truthful--then I simmmered it in an uncovered pot for about an hour and a half--while we were eating dinner..made the apt.

smell wonderful. THEN, for the pastry, you can use this recipe-- mix the flour and salt and cut in the shortening, until it is crumbly, make a well and pour the beer into it...mix together, for 1½ in balls...roll into ½ in. thick 4 in. circles...(If they are very firm, let them sit a while)...then place 2 tb. pumpkin and fold the circles in half, you may need to take some water to seal the edges, then use a fork to press them together--bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes.

But, I'll admit, that I made some much food that we were quite stuffed, so I didn't feel like making the pastry after dinner, so I just served the pumpkin with some icecream and cookies!
