Empanadas
I am going to give my mom a hand at making a batch of empanadas. I hope to learn how to make these fried dough
meat filled delights on my own. Does anyone have a recipe
that they would like to share? I will post the one I will be making
once I get it from mom. My mom at 81 finds it a bit tiring to knead out the dough and roll out the wrappers. So even though I
am not good at that part I will get to practice with the rolling pin
and that snapback dough and hopefully I can make them round.

They are way better, and healthier, baked in the oven.

quick dough for Ur empanada
Really simple and quick dough, I make this dough for everything from empanadas to pizza crust, calzones raviolli ect,,,,
just for example 1 cup flour, appx 1/2 to 1/3 rd cup fresh warm beer, 1tsp canola or whatever oil, 2 tsp baking powder a little sea
salt, it will work with just flour, beer & salt but the dough is softer and more pliable with the oil,, Mix together until it is not sticky and
feels like a nice pizza dough roll out with a rollling pin or a can of beer, cut in squares for Emps or rav's, or have a pizza, Nice thing about this
recipe is the yeast in the warm beer helps the dough rise fast and a single person can have a pizza or Emp in a snap, and if Ur not in a hurry you can
let it proof a bit longer for a lighter flakier crust,
jus my 2 cents
So understand dont waste your time always searching for those wasted years
face up and make your stand and realize that your living in the golden years

I use the inormation on "Empanadas Argentinas,, " ground meat and Taco Bell, seasoning.
Cut dough with round plastic dish, fill with meat, fold over seal with egg white and deep fry in vegetable oil.
Muy rico.

Interesting dough recipe, blackwolfmt. How many empanadas do you get out of it, mas o menos? I'm guessing that would make enough dough for a small,
one-person pizza, right? Double it for a large pizza?
Really prefer oven-baked empanadas too!

This is wonderful that you are learning from your mom. We have passed a homemade egg noodle recipie down from grandma to grandchild for 7 generations
and it means the world to our family. We dont eat them as much as we used to but we still pass it on. Happy eating!
