[First mix the flour with the butter, egg yolks, ??gelatin, then mix it all with a little at a time of the salt water until it forms a compact ball. The dough is ready when it begins to have little bubbles that burst.]

Relleno [filling]

Se frie la cebolla en aceite or mantequilla, sal, aji molido. [Fry the onion in oil or butter, salt, and ??pepper?? ] Se deja enfriar este rehogado en la refrigeradora y despues se anade trocitos de queso y clara batida. [Let this mixture cool in the refrigerator and later add the pieces of cheese and beaten egg white.]

Se enharina el marmol y se extiende la masa bien delgada con un rodillo, se cortan redondelas, rellenan y doblan. Se presionan con el dedo a todo el contorno y se repulga. Se colocan en latas engrasadas al horno suave. Se sirven bien calientes. [Flour the marble -- i.e., the marble slab where you roll it out -- and roll the dough fairly thin with a rolling pin, cut rounds, fill and double them over. Press them closed all around with the finger and thumb. Put them on greased pans in a slow oven. Serve very hot.]
