Ukrainian Crimean Lamb Pies

  1. Dough: In a food processor, blend the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. With the motor running, add the egg yolks and the oil through the feed tube, then pour in the water, in a slow, steady stream, until the dough forms a ball around the blade.

  12. Roll out each round some more and then pull the sides of each until they are about 6 inches in diameter, taking care not to tear the dough.
