Pastel

Ingredients

- 250 g plain flour

- 40 g butter

- 1 egg

- 1/2 tablespoon sugar

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 60 ml lukewarm water

- 150 g Abon (dried beef) for filling

Directions

1. Make the pastry: mix butter with egg, flour, sugar salt with hand. Then slowly pour the water while continue kneading until the texture is no longer sticky and you can roll it. When the dough is still too soft, you may add flour.

2.  Roll the dough into 1/4 cm thin and cut into a cylinder with 5 cm diameter. Take a pinch of Abon and place in the centre. Fold pastry over to make half cylinder and crimp at edges.

3. Before frying, store them in the fridge for 30 minutes to make them firm. 

4.  Deep fry the pastry with lot of oil until golden brown.
