In Brazil, these cheese pasties are typically served as appetizers at parties or as a snack with a cold beer. I took this particular recipe from a fantastic Brazilian cookbook, Ofélia: O Sabor do Brasil.
Ingredients (for about 12 pasties):
- grated cheese
- oregano
- pinch of salt
- 1,5 cups of flour (self-raising)
- 50g of butter at room temperature
- 1/4 cup of cream
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 1 egg
Dust the flour into a bowl and add the butter and a pinch of salt. Stir with a fork, gradually adding the cream and the milk. Dust a clean surface with flour and unroll the dough until 1-2mm thin. Cut out rectangles of approximately 3-4 cm by 6-8 cm. Beat the egg and paint the sides of the rectangles with egg. Season the grated cheese with oregano and salt, and add small heaps of cheese to the rectangles. Close the rectangles and press the sides together with a fork. Coat them with the leftover egg. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C for approximately 10-15 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
