Ingredients
Instructions
- Use your favorite sweet dough recipe.
- Cook pinto beans, drain and mash; add salt and sugar.
- When dough is ready to shape, form into balls the size of a large walnut.
- Let the dough balls rise for about 30 minutes.
- Pull apart each dough ball and place 1 rounded teaspoonful of bean mixture on dough and press edges together to close.
- Place the filled dough in a greased pan and let rise for about 30 minutes.
- Bake in a moderate oven for 25 minutes.
- Serve with hot sauce.
- Alternatively, roll out the dough and cut into 3 to 3 1/2-inch squares, then fill with bean mixture.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding spices like cumin or coriander to the bean mixture. You can also substitute pinto beans with black beans for a different taste. If you prefer a sweeter filling, increase the sugar slightly. Use a store-bought sweet dough if you're short on time, but homemade dough will yield the best results. Experiment with fillings such as mashed sweet potatoes for a twist.
