Preparation

  Place sifted flour and salt in a large container and do a well in the centre. Pour oil in the well. Knead the dough, pour in as much water as needed to get a plain dough.

  Sprinkle the top with some flour and bake in preheated oven at 180ºC, for about 25 minutes.
• Remove from oven, set aside to cool. Unmold the pies, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve in paper cups.
