- In a large bowl, mix the flour, vegetable shortening, and salt.
- Gradually add the chilled guaraná soda and mix until you reach a homogeneous, pliable dough. Do not over-knead.
- Divide the dough into portions and roll out each portion to form discs for the pastries.
- Prepare the filling by mixing the ground beef with salt and your preferred seasonings. Do not cook the beef beforehand.
- Place the filling onto one half of each dough disc and fold it over to close, forming the pastries.
- Arrange the pastries on a baking sheet.
- Brush the surface of each pastry with the egg yolk.
- Place in an oven preheated to a high temperature (approximately 200°C).
- Bake until the pastries are golden and the dough is fully cooked. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into one; if it comes out clean and the dough is firm, they are ready.
