HAM PASTRIES (EMPANADILLAS DE
JAMON)

Little cocktail pastries are excellent made with any leftover, unsweetened dough. Fresh dough does not take long to prepare and can be mixed the day before if you wish. For that matter, the pastries can be baked hours in advance. Best hot or warmed over in a moderate oven, they are also good cold.

EMPANADILLA DOUGH:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
2 tbsp. milk
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt

Put flour on a board or marble slab, make a hole in the center, add all the ingredients in the hole, and mix well with fingers. Roll into a ball and cover with a damp cloth. The dough must rest for 15 minutes before use; it can be kept in a cool place for 24 hours.

COCKTAIL HAM PASTRIES:

1 thick slice Cured or smoked ham, cut into 40 bite-size pieces
1 egg yolk
a little water

Preheat oven to 400°F. Divide dough in two. Roll out half; place ham pieces on rolled dough, pressing them down slightly. Roll out other half of dough and put it over the ham.

Using a cookie cutter or a thin edged glass, cut out a circle around each ham piece large enough to leave a margin of dough around the ham. Pinch the edges of the two halves together, brush tops with beaten egg yolk diluted in a little water, prick pastries with a fork.

Bake in a 400°F oven 15 to 20 minutes or until browned.

Makes forty bite-size pastries.
