Empanada Recipe

Yesterday, I call my sister and ask her about the snack.  Once again she share recipe of Chef Rene Ruz.  Try empanada and I’m sure your family will love it.

Ingredients:

Crust:

4 cups Purefoods Baron All-Purpose Flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup Star Margarine
1/2 cup Primex Shortening
3/4 cup cold water

Savory Filling:
2-190 g can  Purefoods Chunkee Corned Beef

Yema Filling:
1 can condensed milk
1/2 cup cashew nuts, chopped
sugar for sprinkle

Procedure:

To make the Crust:

Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl.  Cut in margarine and shortening until mixture resembles pea-size crumbs.  Add water a tablespoon at a time.  Mix well.  Form dough into a ball and chill for 30 minutes.  Roll out dough into a rectangular sheet and roll to resemble a log.

Cut crosswise into 27 portions (40 grams per piece).  Roll out each portion into flat rounds.  Top dough with a teaspoon of your choice of filling, fold and flute edges to secure filling.

For the corned beef empanada, deep-fry in hot oil until golden brown in color.

For the sweet empanada, brush eggwash on top and sprinkle with sugar.  Bake for 25 minutes.

To make Yema Filling: Combine all ingredients cook over medium heat until slightly thick.  Set aside to cool.

To make Eggwash:  Mix 1 eggyolk with 1/4 cup milk and use for brushing.

Makes 25 pieces.
