INSTRUCTIONS
FILLING:
To prepare the filling: Heat a large skillet. Add the ground beef and
cook, stirring, until it begins to brown and release some of its fat.
Stir in the onion and cook until transparent. Darin off excess fat and
add the rest of the ingredients to the skillet. Simmer for 25 to 30
minutes, stirring often. Transfer to a mixing bowl and set aside to
cool while you prepare the pastry. To prepare the pastry: Combine the
flour, salt, and sugar and mix well. Cut the shortening and butter
into the flour mixture until it becomes coarse and crumbly, like
cornmeal. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of ice water onto the mixture and stir with
a fork, adding more water by the spoonful, if necessary, to make the
dough form a ball. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and
divide it into 24 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball. Preheat the
oven to 400F. In a small bowl, beat the egg white with 1 tsp of water
until frothy. Roll each ball of dough out into a circle 4 inches in
diameter and a little until 1/8-inch thick. Place a Tbsp of filling on
one half of each sircle, leaving a 1/4-1/2-inch margin around the
edges. Moisten the edges with the egg white mixture, then fold the
other half of the circle over. Press the edges together firmly and
crimp with a fork to seal (or use a cutter-crimper tool.) Transfer the
pastries to a large baking sheet. Lightly beat the egg yolk with 2 tsp
of milk. Brush the pastries with this mixture, then bake in preheated
oven for about 15 minutes, or until golden. Serve hot or warm. Makes
