INSTRUCTIONS

This recipe is not as complicatated as it looks. First your prepare
the filling which is easy to make and can be used for almost anything
else, such as a taco filling. Next make the dough, which is no harder
to do than pie dough.  Place pork in large pot.   Cover with water.  
Add onion, garlic, 1/2  ts. salt, oregano, cumin, and bay leaves. Bring
to boil, reduce heat,  and simmer for 1 1/2 hrs.  While the pork cooks,
prepare the dough.  Sift together the flour,  Masa, baking powder and
1/4 ts. salt. In a separate bowl, beat  together the egg and 1/2 c.
milk. Make a well in the center of the  dry ingreds..Add the egg
mixture and stir with a fork until the dough  comes together in a ball.
Divide the dough into 16 even-size pieces  and roll each piece into a
ball. Place in a bowl, cover, and  refrigerate.  After pork has
simmered for 1 1/2 hrs, preheat oven to 375 F.. Remove  the pork from
the liquid.  Save the stock for soup if you like. Place  pork in a
baking dish or Dutch oven. Brush with hot pepper sauce.  Bake for 1
hr., or untill meat shreds easily with fork. Remove from  oven and
shred into small pieces. Combine Red Chile Salsa (see #141)  and
remaining 1/2 tsp. salt. On lightly floured surface, flatten a  piece
of dough with the palm of your hand. With rolling pin  (actually, a
piece of cut-off broom handle works best), roll out the  dough to make
a 5" circle, abt. 1/8" thick. Place 2-3 tbs. filling in  center of the
dough. Brush edges of dough with milk. Fold dough over  filling. Pinch
edges together. Crimp with fork to seal. Place on  lightly greased
baking sheet. Bake for 20 min.,, or until golden.  Remove to rack and
cool for abt. 5 min. Serve warm. Can be frozen  baked or unbaked. If
baking from freezer, do not thaw. Bake in  preheated 350 F. oven for
25-30 min. Reheat baked frozen at 350 for  15 min.  From Gemini's
