Baby Pastel Isi Abon Sapi Recipe
Ingredients:
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams margarine
- 1 egg
- 75 ml water
- Salt to taste
- Flavor enhancer (optional)
- 250 grams beef floss (abon sapi)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, margarine, egg, salt, and flavor enhancer if using. Gradually add the water, a little at a time, while mixing until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
-
Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough is well-kneaded and smooth, roll it out on a lightly floured surface using a rolling pin. Aim for a thin, even layer.
-
Cut and Fill: Using a round cutter or glass, cut the rolled dough into circular pieces. Place a small amount of beef floss (abon sapi) in the center of each circle.
-
Shape the Pastels: Fold the dough over the filling to form a crescent or half-moon shape, pressing the edges together to seal. You can use a fork or a special pastry tool to crimp the edges if desired.
-
Fry the Pastels: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the filled pastries into the pan. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
-
Drain and Cool: Remove the pastels from the oil and drain on paper towels. Allow them to cool completely.
-
Store and Enjoy: Once cooled, transfer the pastels to an airtight container and seal tightly. They are perfect for snacking and can be enjoyed anytime.
