Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash and dry the utensils you'll use. I have silicone mats, but you can also grease and flour your molds.
- 2
Cream the shortening and gradually add the sifted flour.
- 3
Add a tablespoon of sugar.
- 4
Gradually add the salt and room temperature beer.
- 5
Add the baking powder.
- 6
Knead until you have a smooth dough, cover, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- 7
Preheat the oven to 350°F (level 3).
- 8
Take a portion of dough and make a tortilla.
- 9
You can use a rolling pin, your hands, or a glass. Apply a little oil to your hands to prevent sticking.
- 10
Add a bit of filling; in this case, I used caramel.
- 11
There are several ways to seal the empanada; you can use a press like the following.
- 12
You can also make it like a small pie.
- 13
Remove as much air as possible and press well.
- 14
You can also use a fork to seal.
- 15
The designs are endless.
- 16
If you want to make a pie or tart, grease the mold and make several tortillas, then smooth them with your fingertips.
- 17
The filling I used was cream cheese at the bottom and three cans of drained tuna with a tablespoon of mayonnaise and two chipotle peppers in adobo. You can also use cheeses, ham with cheese, seasonal fruits, apple with cinnamon, etc., even leftovers from Christmas dinner 🤣.
- 18
Spread the filling.
- 19
Make the top crust. I used several clean bags and a rolling pin.
- 20
For savory pies and empanadas, instead of sugar, beat an egg and brush it on top to get that beautiful golden color.
- 21
This is how my caramel ones turned out. As soon as I took them out of the oven, I placed them on a plate with sugar (it has to be when they're still hot, or the sugar won't stick).
- 22
If some filling leaks out, you can still use it. Gather it all and set it aside.
- 23
Take the caramel that leaked from the empanadas and put it into small mounds.
- 24
Bake them for about 15 to 20 minutes.
- 25
You can make these empanadas or pies to sell or give as gifts to friends and family.
- 26
This is how the tuna pie turned out!
- 27
This is the amount I got from the mix. I'll take the pie to work to share with my coworkers, and the empanadas are for a gathering with my friends in the afternoon 🤣.
- 28
You get approximately 50 pieces and a good-sized pie.
- 29
I hope you try making it someday and send me your photo and comments! Best wishes and good life 🤣!!!
