until vegetables are cooked. Remove from skillet. Let cool. Pastry:
Combine flour, salt and sugar in a bowl. Cut in shortening with a
pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Combine egg yolks and ice
water and blend into flour mixture until it turns into dough. Add a
little more water if dough is still crumbly. Refrigerate for 30
minutes. With a rolling pin, roll dough thinly, about 1/4 inch thick,
on a lightly floured board. Roll up dough to a long thin roll. Cut
into slices about 1-inch thick. Flatten each slice thinly into a
circle about the size of a small saucer. Fill middle of round dough

firmly with tines of a fork to seal. Repeat procedure with remaining
