Steps:
- Combine egg yolks, oil, salt, and baking powder. Once well combined, add the flour and mix.By this point, the dough will be crumbly and too dry. Start adding water by the tablespoon and working until it forms a cohesive ball with the least water possible. I used 7 tablespoons in the end, but it varies sometimes.
- Mix everything with your hands on a lightly floured surface until everything is well mixed, but just squeezing without folding (like playdoh). Add some flour to the dough if it is too sticky, or a bit of water if it is too dryOnce the dough has the consistency of playdoh (One to two minutes at most) wrap, and let the dough rest for ten minutes.
- Separate a small, golf-ball-sized piece of dough. On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough forming a small circle.
- Cut out circles of about 2.5" [6.5 cm] in diameter. Paint the inside with egg white (which acts as glue so the layers don't separate).Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each circle, cover with another circle and seal the border by pressing it with a fork.
- Cut out circles 4" [10 cm] in diameter. Paint the inside with egg white (which acts as glue so the layers don't separate).Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each circle, double over in a semi-circle, and seal the border by pressing it with a fork.
- Heat oil over medium heat in a 1 qt [1lt] pot. Deep fry the pastelitos / empanaditas until they are golden brown on each side. Rest on a paper towel to drain excess oil before serving.

DOMINICAN PASTELITOS (SAVORY PASTIES)
This recipe found at Aunt Clara's Kitchen. I've used this recipe changing the filling. I've also increased ingredients and more for parties. These can be made ahead of time and frozen till needed. If you freeze, allow them to thaw before deep frying. Can also exchange meat for shredded cheese or fruit jellies/jams for a quick dessert. Hope you enjoy.

Steps:
- Chop onions and the green pepper into very small cubes.
- In shallow pan, heat two teaspoons of oil, add onions, chicken or meat, and the green peppers, stir. Add the black pepper, coriander, and tomato paste. Let simmer at very low heat until all liquid has evaporated. Reserve.
- Mix all the dry ingredients first, then add the water and mix well. Mix everything with hands on a slightly floured surface until mixed well, don't knead the dough (add some flour if too sticky). Let dough rest for 10 minutes covered in plastic film.
- On lightly floured surface roll out dough, cut out circles of about 4 inches in diameter.
- Before using the filling you can add some raisins and/or some sliced olives, mix into meat. Put a teaspoon of chicken or meat in the center, fold over in a semi-circle and seal the border pressing it with a fork (for better results, wet finger with water and lightly coat the edges of the lower half of circle then use fork, this creates a tighter seal).
- Deep fry the pastelitos and drain excess oil on a paper towel before serving.
PESCADO CON COCO (FISH IN COCONUT SAUCE - DOMINICAN REPUBLIC)
From the blog "Aunt Clara's Kitchen". Posted to save, as it looks wonderful. This is typical of the Semana Peninsula. The recipe calls for small whole fish, one per serving, although I imagine it would also work well with fillets or steaks.

Steps:
- Cut diagonal slices into fish about 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Combine the annatto, garlic and salt and rub onto the fish, rubbing into the slashes.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook fish lightly on one side, then turn and cook the other side. It should color slightly, but won't be done.
- Lower the heat and add the peppers and onion, and cook until the onions are transparent.
- Add the coconut milk and simmer until reduced by half. Rotate the fish, being careful to keep it whole.
- Taste sauce and add additional salt, if desired. Remove from heat, plate with hot rice, and garnish with chopped cilantro.
MIAMI GUAVA PASTRIES (PASTELITOS)
