Pastelitos are an icon in the traditional gastronomy of our country.
The classic pastries were made with flour and pella dough (beef fat) and filled with some homemade sweets. The black cakes are a modern version that uses phila dough (also accepts puff pastry or strudel dough) and has a chocolate heart (you can change it by using sweet red fruit, quince, sweet potato or whatever you like the most). The good thing is that they are made with a dough with a neutral flavor that can be completed with a salty filling or with jam or quince paste. There is also cheese, with a dough that is crushed instead of kneaded and a crunchy and delicate texture.
