On January 15, 2006 in Different Dinner Project, Recipes

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg, beaten

2 medium potatoes, peeled, cooked and mashed
2 slices pork bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup cheddar, grated
1/4 small onion, minced
salt and pepper

  1. Mix together flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl mix together vegetable oil, warm water and beaten egg.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix. Knead dough well.
  4. Cover dough with a clean towel and let rest for 2 hours.
  5. After dough has rested, combine mashed potatoes, bacon, cheddar and onion in a bowl. Season mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Roll out dough to approximately 1/4" thickness.
  7. With the rim of a pint glass or something similar, cut out circles from the dough.
  8. Fill the center of each circle with approximately a teaspoon of potato mixture.
  9. Fold the circle over, pressing the edges to keep filling inside.
