Directions
Mash the cooked fruit and add sugar, honey, and cinnamon. Stir well.
Preheat oven to 400 F. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut lard until the mixture resembles a fine meal. Slowly add water until dough is easy to roll. Roll out to ¼-inch thickness, and cut into 4-inch rounds. Put one tablespoon of fruit filling on one-half of each round, fold over the other half of the round, and pinch edges together firmly. Prick the tops in several places with the tines of a fork. Mix egg with milk and brush on the tops of the pies. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes 10 Paselitos.
