2 cups All Purpose Flour

pinch of Salt

2 tbsp Butter

1 Egg

1 tbsp Vinegar

½ cup Water

Mozzarella

Directions

Step 1

For the Dough

Step 1

To make the dough, combine flour, salt, and butter in a bowl. Use your fingers to break up the butter into the flour. Add your egg, vinegar, and water. Mix then knead for 2 minutes until everything is combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Flour your work surface, place your dough down and roll thin. If it sticks to your rolling pin or work surface just add more flour. After rolled, cut out 2 rectangles however big you want your pastel to be. Lay your slice or slices of mozzarella on one rectangle. Rub the edges with a little water and lay the other rectangle on top. Cut off excess dough and crimp edges with a fork.

Step 3

Re-roll your remaining dough to make more.

Step 4

Fry in 350-degree Fahrenheit oil until golden (a few minutes a side).

Step 5

Salt after removing from oil and ENJOY
