Steps

2 hours 30 mins

1

Place the French baguette in a bowl and cover it with water. We want it to get completely soaked in water. Leave it aside for later use.
2

In a large bowl, add the flour, margarine and vegetable fat. Mix with a beater using the dough hook.
3

Keep beating and slowly add the baking powder, salt and sugar. Then add the beer and the achiote paste.
4

To prepare the filing, chop in the food processor the onion, sweet and panamanian or red peppers, celery stalk, garlic and sprig of thyme. Add to the beef and mix well.
5

Add salt to taste.
6

Preheat oven to 350°F.
7

Cover your working place with flour and knead the dough on it. Make sure your table is always covered with flour so the dough won't sick to it.
8

Use a roller to make the dough as thin as you can without breaking it.
9

Make circles on the dough. They should be around 7 to 10 cm.
10

Fill them with the filling (about 1.5 tbsp per patí or as much as you can get in it) and close them like empanadas. Use a fork to secure the ends and make sure they are completely sealed.
11

Place on a greased sheet and take to the oven. Bake for 8 minutes at 350°F and then broil for 5 minutes.

Enjoy!
