@Elisabeth, My family lived there during the 1980s, my parents were Missionaries! I use to eat one of these everyday at lunch at the store on the corner by my school.

Hello, what does one do with the stick of butter called for in the ingredients for the dough?

Don’t freeze the uncooked salteñas. Cook them, then freeze them. They freeze much better that way. (This advice comes from my Bolivian mother, who made the best salteñas in the world. I may be a bit biased.)

I have to say, the dough recipe you provide is so much better than another recipe I followed. Thank you, I will be using this recipe from now on. They were delish!

I made these yesterday for my husband’s birthday. He too served a mission in Bolivia. We both absolutely loved these! They were delicious! Thanks for the recipe

Thanks, Great recap, except that you forgot the cubes cut out of the chicken jello, made & refrigerated the day before….this is what provides the juiciness.
