Recipe
To make the dough, sift the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the
shortening and butter and rub into the flour with your fingertips until
the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually blend in the water
to make a soft dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator
for 30 minutes. Mash the bananas in a bowl with a fork and stir in the
apricots, nutmeg, and orange juice, mixing well. Roll the dough out
on a lightly floured surface and cut out 4-inch rounds. Spoon a little
of the banana filling onto one half of each round and fold the dough
over the filling to make semicircles. Pinch the edges together and
seal by pressing with prongs of a fork. Arrange the pastries on a
nonstick cookie sheet and brush them with the beat on egg yolk to
glaze. Cut a small slit in each pastry and cook in a preheated oven
at 350F degrees for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Dust
with confectioners' sugar and serve.
