Welcome to the kitchen; today we are making Jawitas.

For the dough, we need 3 cups of flour and 4 tablespoons of butter.

Add 1 egg and 3/4 cup of warm water to the mixture.

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and mix well.

Chop 1 onion and 2 green chilies; sauté them in oil until cooked.

In a separate pot, melt butter and add achiote for color.

Mix equal parts of flour and butter, about 30 grams each, to form a dough.

Combine the water, milk, and sugar to hydrate the mixture.

Knead the dough until smooth and let it rest, covered, until it doubles in size.

Prepare the filling while the dough rests by cooking the onion and chilies in oil.

Once the filling is ready, assemble the Jawitas with the dough and filling.

Bake the assembled Jawitas until golden brown.
