I made these empanadas when my dear friend Alicia from mis-recetas sent me nougats as a prize. I ate them slowly so they wouldn't run out, and to make it less painful to share with others. When they were almost gone, I made these empanadas, and they turned out delicious.

Steps

75 minutes

1

Cream the shortening, then add the egg and sugar. On our work surface, place the flour and add the creamed shortening. Mix until it resembles sand, then add the previously boiled beer, still warm but not too hot. Knead, cover, and let it rest for one hour without refrigerating.
2

Roll out the dough and cut it to the desired size. Fill with nougat and jam, close them, and bake at a moderate temperature for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your oven. Mix sugar and cinnamon, and while the empanadas are still warm, roll them in this mixture.
