This is a very famous snack in Brazil. You can use all sorts of stuffing. The original recipe is fried, but I baked it instead :)

Ingredients

1 hour 30 mins
5 servings
  1. 3 cupflour
  2. 1 cupwarm water
  3. 3 tbspoil (soy,canola etc)
  4. 1 tbspwhite vinegar
  5. 1 tbspsalt
  6. 1flour (to work the dough)

Cooking Instructions

1 hour 30 mins
  1. 1

    Mix the flour and salt

  2. 2

    Add the oil, vinegar and the water (I use a mixer, but you can do it by hand, if you feel string enough :) )

  3. 3

    If the dough gets too thick, add water. If it gets too sticky add flour. A little sticky is good. The dough should be smooth and light.

  4. 4

    Spread flour to a working table and work on opening the dough using a dough roller

  5. 5

    The dough should get as thin as possible. Try making it into long stripes about 4 inches wide

  6. 6

    Stuff with chicken, meat, cheese, ham or whatever you want to add.

  7. 7

    Close the dough using a fork

  8. 8

    Fry it in very hot oil for about 1 to 2 minutes. (I tend to bake it. Its not the original way of doing it, but its healthier and easier :), bake it for 3 to 5 minutes at 400F)
