  • Dough

    • 🌾 6 cups all-purpose flour
    • 🍬 ¼ cup white sugar
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • 🧈 1 cup butter, cubed
    • 💧 1 ½ cups hot water
    • 🥚 2 eggs, beaten

STEPS

1

Sprinkle the gelatin over the ½ cup cold water in a heat-proof dish; set aside for 10 minutes. Microwave or melt until gelatin is dissolved. Refrigerate until set.

2

Boil peeled potatoes for 10 minutes until firm but cooked. Remove from water, cool, then shred.

3

Heat olive oil in a skillet. Cook onion until soft, add ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Add shredded potatoes, peas, spring onion, parsley, sugar, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3 minutes.

4

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease or line a baking sheet.

5

Combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles crumbs, then knead with hot water until smooth. Divide dough into 16 balls.

6

Roll each ball into a circle. Brush edges with egg wash, add filling and toppings (hard-boiled egg, gelatin, olives, and raisins) on one half, fold, and seal edges.

7

Brush prepared saltenas with paprika-spiced egg wash and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
