  • Place the flour on a table, making a well in the center. In the center, add the salt, sugar, vegetable shortening, and water, and begin to integrate slowly. Then, knead until you obtain a smooth and well-integrated consistency. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
  • In a bowl, mix the vegetable shortening with flour until you get a paste. Set aside.
  • Roll out the dough on a flat surface with a little flour; it should be 2 millimeters thick. Spread the filling mixture over the entire dough and cover completely.
  • Place the rolling pin at one end of the dough and start rolling, pulling to make it well stretched. Once the entire dough is rolled, push it off the rolling pin. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Press the dough and slightly roll it out with a rolling pin. Spread a little oil on the table and place the rolled-out dough. Cut the campechanas with a slightly greased knife and place them on a pre-greased baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle sugar on top of each campechana and bake at 180°C for 30 minutes or until crispy.
