Welcome viewers to the video and introduce the recipe for Honduran pastelitos.

Mention leftover rice with meat from a previous recipe and the intention to use it.

Present the ingredients: 2.5 cups all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, 0.25 cups oil, and water.

Add 0.5 teaspoons of salt to the flour and 0.5 teaspoons of baking soda.

Pour in 0.25 cups of oil into the flour mixture.

Begin to knead the dough, adding water gradually, starting with 2 cups but not using it all.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth.

Cut the dough into small balls for the pastelitos, noting they should be small for pastries, not tortillas.

Let the dough balls rest with a little oil on top to prevent drying out.

Start to shape the pastelitos by flattening the dough in hand or on a surface.

Fill each flattened dough with enough filling, seal it well, and shape it by pressing and rolling the edges to prevent opening during frying.

Prepare a tray with aluminum foil and oil to place the shaped pastelitos before frying.

Fry the pastelitos in hot oil, placing only 4 at a time to ensure they cook properly.

Quickly turn the pastelitos in the oil and remove them when they are golden brown.

Place the fried pastelitos in a colander to drain excess oil.

Suggest using abundant oil for frying to allow the pastelitos to float and cook evenly without sticking.
