°⅓ pound yellow onion (small cubes)

°1/2 pound sirloin (or sirloin steak, uncooked and cut into small cubes)

*Directions

Make pancake batter

Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to a food processor or blender and mix quickly until combined. Add the butter and mix until the mixture begins to look like coarse crumbs.

3 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 12 cups unsalted butter

Add the egg yolks and whisk a few times until blended. Then add a small amount of water (you may not need all of it), and blend in the food processor between each addition until the dough begins to form a ball.

2 egg yolks and half a cup of cold water

Remove the puff pastry from the food processor and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator to cool for 3 hours.

Roll the dough

When it’s time to take the dough out of the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Take out 2 large baking sheets, sprinkle them with flour, and set aside.

Take the dough out of the refrigerator and brush a flat surface with flour to flatten it. Shape the ball of dough into a sausage shape and cut it into 6 equal-sized pieces.

Roll each piece of dough into a round shape about 8 inches in diameter (you can use an 8-inch flat board as a guide if needed) and set aside.

Enjoy!
