Ingredientes
  

  • 1/2 cup of flour
  • 2 teaspoons of salt
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 4 cups of Promasa yellow corn flour
  • 2 tablespoons of margarine or butter
  • 2 tablespoons of shortening Cookeen, Crisco

Method
 

  1. Preparation
  2. Season the meat to taste (preferably leave over night in the fridge) and brown in the saucepan.
  3. Sift the Promasa, flour, salt and baking powder together. Add butter and shortening together by hand till mixture becomes grainy. Add sufficient water to make a soft dough. Knead lightly and then cut in small balls, so that when it’s rolled flat it'll make a circle 8" in diameter.
  4. Place about 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons of meat mixture into 1 half of the circle. Dampen edge and fold over the other 1/2 of the circle to form a crescent. Squeeze edges together. Fry in hot oil until golden brown.
