Cut butter into small pieces and quickly rub them into dry ingredients with your fingers until smaller but still visable. Add oil and toss with a fork to combine.

Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

To prepre filling:

To Make Patties:

Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. On a well floured surface, rol each piece into a 6-inch circle about 3/8 inch thick. Trim the edges to make an even circle.Put about 1/4 cup filling on half of the dough, leaving about a 1/4-inch border. Fold the dough over the filling to make a half-moon shape and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Place on a large baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Bake the patties until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
