This weekend I made Empandas for the very first time. It was so much fun and they were so good we ate them all!
An empanada is a stuffed bread or pastry dough that can baked or fried.
Making Empanadas are fun and you can put what ever you like inside! I made a few different kinds of filling I will tell you about.
I cooked some ground chicken with diced onions, carrots, celery and added some seasoning. Then after filling a bunch of Empanadas I added some BBQ sauce and cheddar cheese to the chicken. I liked that better.
This was just some scrambled eggs, potatoes and cheese
This was so easy a few pieces of pepperoni, a tiny bit of pizza sauce, and some mozzarella cheese.
*DANGER* * WARNING* Get some oil heating up! a lot of it! My dad got the oil heated up. I was allowed to do everything but he put empandas in and out of oil for safety. Please be very very very careful my dad said if it spills it makes a big mess, but the worse part people can get badly burned. You want the oil hot. but not too hot or it pops out of pan and can burn food.
Lightly roll out the dough
Add your filling, fold and press down with fork
Gently place in fryer, flip after a few minutes. When golden color take out and put on paper towels to remove extra oil.
Eat and Enjoy!
Have a great day!
