This is what is eaten in some areas of Spain for the Fat Thursday. Traditions comes from the fact that years ago Catholics were not allowed to eat anything bjt fish during Easter so the day before they would eat as much meat as the could.
Though it might not seem the best combination to make a pastry it's one of our most ancient recipes amd everyone likes it and I hope that so will you!

Flatten te other sheet and use it to cover the other one. Stretch the sheet on he bottom to cover the edges of the top's one so it won't open.

With the handle of a fork or a chopstick make same vertical perforations on the edge but DO KOT CUT THE PASTRY ALL THE WAY. This way it won't raise.
