Recipe:
Dough
1 Egg
4 cups Flour
1 Teaspoon of Salt
1 Cup vegetable shortening or Butter
1 ½ Cups Warm water
Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix till the dough is soft. If the dough feels sticky add very small amounts of flour at a time till it has a softer texture. Set aside and cover.
Filling:
1-pound lean ground beef or minced beef.
1 Onion, chopped.
1 teaspoon Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, and chili powder. Or 1 tablespoon Tajin (that’s what I had).
Cook onions for a few minutes till they start to become translucent then add beef and seasonings. Cook till beef is well done. Mix in 1 tablespoon of flour. Let cool enough for you to safely handle it.
Assembling:
Chop 1 can of black olives.
Roll dough our or flatten by hand on a cutting board with flour. Place beef filling, chopped olives, and a few raisins. Fold dough over itself and press down tightly then give an egg wash.
Place in a well-greased sheet or Dutch oven and put into 350-degree oven for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown.
