Pastel

Cultural Context

Pastel, a beloved Brazilian street food, has roots in the influence of Japanese immigrants who introduced the concept of filled pastries. Traditionally sold at fairs, these crispy treats are filled with a variety of ingredients, reflecting regional flavors. Today, pastéis are enjoyed across Brazil and have inspired countless variations, from sweet to savory, making them a staple at parties and casual gatherings.

1

In a container, add 350g of white wheat flour and 200g of cream.

2

Stir with a spoon, then use hands to knead the dough for 10 to 15 minutes until it takes shape.

3

Form the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

4

Divide the dough in half and roll it out with a rolling pin to an even thickness.

5

Cut the dough into circles using a round container.

6

Fill each circle with ham and cheese, leaving edges free of filling.

7

Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal.

8

Use a fork to crimp the edges for a better seal.

9

Make a small hole in each pastry to prevent air inflation during frying.

10

Heat oil in a pot and fry the pastries until golden brown.
