Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 300 ml of hot water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 450 g flour
• 100 g melted fat
• 100 g vegetable oil

For the Filling:

• 1 potato , cooked and cut into small cubes
• 1 onion , finely chopped
• 250 g of meat (minced or cut into small pieces)
• Salt and spices to taste
• 1 egg yolk + 1 teaspoon of milk (for brushing)
  

  Preparation method:

  Dough Preparation:

  1. Initial Mix :
     • In a large bowl, mix the hot water and salt until completely dissolved.
     • Add the flour little by little, stirring with a wooden spoon, until you obtain a homogeneous dough.
  2. Resting the Dough :
     • Divide the dough into 4 balls and flatten slightly with your hands.
     • Place the dumplings in a container with the melted fat and vegetable oil.
     • Let it rest for about 30 minutes. This will help the dough become more hydrated and malleable.

  Filling Preparation:

  1. 1. Cooking the Potato :
        • Cook the potato until soft. Let it cool and cut into small cubes.
     2. Meat Preparation :
        • In a frying pan, heat a little vegetable oil and sauté the onion until golden.
        • Add the meat and cook until fully cooked. Season with salt and spices to taste.
  1. Final Mix :
     • Add the chopped potato to the filling and mix well. Cook for a few more minutes to combine the flavors.

  Assembling the Appetizers:

  1. Opening the Dough :
     • • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
       • On a floured surface, roll out each dumpling until thin.
     • Cut circles of dough with a cutter or a glass.
  2. Stuffing and Sealing :
     • Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each dough circle.
     • Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges with a fork to seal well.
  3. Preparation for Baking :
     • • Place the appetizers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
     • Mix the egg yolk with the milk and brush the surface of each appetizer.

  Baking and Serving:

  1. Baking :
     • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the treats are golden brown and crispy.
  2. Serving :
     • Let cool slightly before serving. These appetizers are perfect as a starter or snack.
       

       Tips for a Perfect Result:

       • Water Temperature Control : Make sure the water is really hot when you add it to the flour. This helps the dough form properly and achieve the ideal texture.
       • Proper Dough Rest : Let the dough rest in the melted shortening and vegetable oil mixture for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the dough to become more elastic and easier to work with.
       • Well-Seasoned Filling : Make sure the filling is well-seasoned before stuffing the appetizers. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
       • Perfect Seal : When forming the appetizers, be sure to seal the edges well by pressing them with a fork. This will prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
