  • For the dough: beat the flour, vegetable shortening, butter, cold water, and salt in a mixing bowl with a hook attachment until everything is combined and a smooth, homogeneous dough is obtained. Place the dough for pastes in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

  • Roll out the dough with a rolling pin on a floured flat surface, cut circles of 15 cm, fill with beans and chorizo, and seal the paste by pressing with your fingers.
  • Place the pastes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, brush with egg, and bake at 180 °C for 30 minutes. Set aside.
