- Peter Hanson requested this recipe, hope it helps. Take the amounts and
- experiment because I learned by practice from my mom.
-
- Dough:
- 3 cups flour
- 2 T. shortening
- warm salted water
-
- In a big bowl mix flour with shortening. Slowly add enough water to mix
- dough thoroughly. Dough should not be sticky. You may need to add more
- flour if needed.
-
- Filling:
- (It tastes better if you do this the night before baking)
-
- about 250 grams ground beef (lean)
- 2 yellow onions (diced finely)
- 1 T. chile powder
- olives and raisins (one or two per empanada)
- hard boiled eggs (I cut up one egg into several wedges, one wedge per pie)
- 1/4 cup broth
- spices (salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, etc.. to taste)
- 1 T. flour
-
- Fry the ground beef and drain off the fat. Saute the onions until clear.
- Mix and cook on low with spices, broth and flour to thicken. Let stand
- refrigerated overnight.
-
- Roll out dough as if you were making tortillas, but not too thin. Place
- about one T. of the filling on half of dough circle. Add olive, raisin,
- and hard boiled egg wedge. Close circle and seal by curling edges
- together. Brush empanadas with a milk/egg mixture. Bake at med. to low
- heat until golden brown. Serve with a good tomato and onion salad, and a
- good red wine.
-
- Sorry this isn't an exact recipe, but this is the first time I've actually
- written it down. Good luck.
