Alcapuria

Alcapuria is a type of food made from Hispanics. I know it's not a pastry but I learned how to make something else that I was really interested in doing. Evelyn took me step by step and showed me how to make them, which of course.. they weren't hard at all! It's basically smashed up green banana and potatoes mixed together with ground beef in the inside. After their all prepared you could either fry them or if you want them to be extra soft you can bake them. I personally don't like them myself but my mother loves them so of course I brought her some home :) She was happy! She made me use these wax sheets so it would be easier for me to  handle. I had to put the mash in the middle of the wax paper spread it out, put a little bit of the cooked ground beef in the middle and close it with a spoon. I had to make sure their was no meat showing at all. After that was done, we put them all out on a baking sheet and put them in the oven. I feel like it's a good thing I am learning all these different types of foods and pastries to make because when I get older I would like to maybe have my own bakery or restaurant someday.
