| 1 1/2 cups | 355ml | Dough |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Unbleached white flour |
| 1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Baking powder |
| 6 tablespoons | 90ml | Salt |
| 3 1/2 tablespoons | 52ml | Lard or vegetable oil - chilled |
| 1 | Cold water | |
| 1 tablespoon | 15ml | Egg |
| 1 cup | 237ml | Milk filling |
| 1/3 cup | 78ml | Dried fruit - cooked and drained |
| 1 tablespoon | 15ml | Sugar |
| 1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Honey |
| Ground cinnamon |
Mash the cooked fruit and add sugar, honey, and cinnamon. Stir well.
Preheat oven to 400F. 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 1/4-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.
