Pastelitos
Here is a Honduran food recipe to try, its delicious and a fluffier version of Mexican empanadas:
2 cups white flour
2 cups wheat flour (if not just use white)
1 tb spoon yeast
1 tb panela molida (aka natural sugar cane if not use reg sugar)
1 pinch of salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Filling! you can use guava/pineapple jelly, or shredded coconut, or shredded apples with cinnamon, or veggies, get creative!
Mix all of the dry ingredients first then add the oil. Knead for 5 minutes. Let sit for 15 minutes, then make tortillas with small balls of dough. Cut two large circles out of a plastic bag. Make a small ball, place a plastic circle under and over it, and smash it with a plate that’s flat on the bottom. Add filling of choice, fold over, and seal the ridge well. Place on a greased pan and bake for 10 minutes at 175C or 345F
Enjoy!

Thursday I'm scheduled to go speak to a group of high schoolers about Peace Corps, and I was looking for some kind of Honduran food I could bring. This sounds perfect, because it doesn't have to be kept warm or cold. :) Thanks for the recipe!
