Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Pulse the flour and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until it looks like coarse crumbs.

2. 2

   Add the egg, then the water a spoonful at a time, pulsing until the dough clumps into a ball.

3. 3

   Knead it briefly on a floured board, wrap and chill for 1 hour.

4. 4

   Warm the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown the beef, breaking it up, until no pink remains, 6-8 min. Spoon off excess fat.

5. 5

   Add the onion and cook over medium heat until soft and sweet, 8-10 min.

6. 6

   Stir in the garlic, aji panca paste, cumin and oregano and cook for 2 min.

7. 7

   Add the raisins, season with salt and simmer a few minutes until the mixture is moist but not wet. Let it cool completely.

8. 8

   Heat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F) and line a baking sheet with parchment.

9. 9

   Roll the dough out about 3 mm (1/8 in) thick and cut 8 rounds of 15 cm (6 in), rerolling the scraps.

10. 10

    Spoon filling onto one half of each round, leaving a clear border. Top each with one egg wedge and one olive.

11. 11

    Brush the border with water, fold the dough over and crimp the edge with a fork or by twisting it.

12. 12

    Set them on the sheet, brush with the yolk wash and bake until deep golden, 20-25 min.

13. 13

    Cool for 5 min, then dust with the powdered sugar and serve warm.
