Pastechies are typical Curacao treat.
These can be filled with cheese, sausage, tuna, meat, poultry, chocolate… sky is the limit.
Its a very simple recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Sift the flour in a bowl and add the oil, sugar and salt. Slowely add water to mixture, the mixture shouldn’t be to wet, and form a large ball. Make small balls, flatten each small ball with a roller. With a small cup, cut rounds of approx 10 cm in the dough platter and fill these with any desired filling. In this case I used cheese and salami.
Close the pastries, and neatly twist the ends.
Fry the pastries, till they’re golden brown.
Bon Appetite!
