Combine the strawberries, sugar, orange juice, and cornstarch in a large bowl. Mix well and let rest for an hour. Drain the liquid from the strawberries. To assemble the empanadas spoon strawberry mixture on the center of the empanada disc. Brush the edges of the empanada disc with egg whites. Fold the empanada discs and seal the edges, use a fork to help soak the empanadas. Lightly brush the top of the empanadas with the egg yolk. Sprinkle the demerara sugar on the top of the empanadas. Chill the empanadas for at least 30 minutes, this helps prevent leaks. Bake the empanadas in a pre-heated oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden. Serve either warm or cold with whipped cream
