Directions: |
Directions:Dissolve yeast in water in a small mixing bowl. Combine flour and salt in a large mixing bowl and cut in shortening. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients. Add liquid to dry ingredients and work into dough. Knead dough until it is smooth and satiny.
Place meat in a medium sized saucepan and cover with water. Cook until tender. Grind meat after it has cooled. Place ground meat in a large mixing bowl and add all remaining ingredients. Mix well.
Roll dough about 3 inches in diameter, approximately 1/4" thick on a lightly floured board. Place a spoonful of filling off-center on each pastry circle. Fold pastry in half over filling and pinch edges together to seal. Heat 2 inches of shortening in a heavy pan at medium-high heat. Fry empanaditas until golden on both sides, turning once. Drain on absorbent towels. Sprinkle empanaditas with powdered sugar, if desired. |
