Antillean meat turnover pastry. These are a real taste treat for my family and reminds us of our time living on the southern Caribbean island of Bonaire. There is time and effort involved, but the results are worth it. Prep time includes resting time for pastry. Ingredients:

6 tablespoons white sugar |
1 tablespoon salt |
4 teaspoons baking powder |
3/4 cup butter |
2 eggs |
3 teaspoons sugar |
1/2 cup milk (more if needed) |
hot oil |
Directions:
1. Mix dry ingredients with butter.
2. Slowly add liquid.
3. Knead to a smooth ball and let stand 20 minutes.
4. Roll out thinly on lightly floured board.
5. Cut into rounds using biscuit cutter or glass.
6. Place 1 generous tsp of Pastechi filling (recipe posted separately) onto rounds.
7. Fold rounds in half; seal and crimp edges.
8. Fry in oil until golden brown.
9. Drain on paper towels.
10. Serve warm and with ketchup, if desired.
11. ***recipemay be halved.
