INSTRUCTIONS

Put the flour in a large bowl or on a pastry board and make a well in
the center. Place the butter and oil in the well and cut in the fat
until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the vinegar and
salt into the ice water. Sprinkle the water, 1 tablespoon at a time,
over a section of the flour.  Gently mix with a fork to moisten. Push
the moistened section aside and continue adding enough water to make  a
soft dough that just holds together. Place the dough on a lightly
floured surface and knead briefly with the heel of your hand.  Form
into a ball, flatten slightly, cover with plastic wrap, and
refrigerate for at least 30 minutes up to 1 week. THe dough can also
be frozen for up to 3 months. Let the chilled dough stand at room
temperature until workable, about 1 hour, before rolling. Preheat the
oven to 375 degrees F. Form the dough into 1-inch dough. On a lightly
floured surface, roll the balls into 3-inch rounds, about 1/8 inch
thick. Place a heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center of each
round, Fold the dough in half over the filling to form a half moon  and
press the rounded edge with the tines of a fork to seal.  (Turnovers
may be frozen at this point. Do not defrost before baking;  instead,
increase the baking time by about 10 minutes) Place  turnovers on a
baking sheet.  Brush the tops with egg wash and if  desired, sprinkle
with sesame seeds.  Bake until golden brown, about  30 minutes. Serve
warm or at room temperature.  Nutritional info per turnover: 124 cal;
