for crust:
2 cups flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 Tablespoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
1/3 cup ice water
for filling:
1 medium sized onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 Tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tomatoes, peeled
2 cups cooked beef, chopped
1/2 cup beef stock
1/4 cup raisins
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste
for crust:
Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Cut the shortening into the flour as though you were making a pie crust by
working it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle dough with just enough ice water so that it will just hold together.
Knead together briefly and allow to rest, covered about 10 minutes.
Roll dough out on a lightly floured board to circles about 3-4 inches in diameter.
for filling:
Saute onions and garlic in hot oil until translucent.
Add meat, saute 5 more minutes.
Stir in tomatoes, stock and remaining ingredients.
Simmer 30 minutes.
to assemble:
Place a spoonful of empanada filling of your choice on one side of the circle.
Moisten the edges of the circle with a small amount of water and fold the dough
over the filling to make a half circle.
Press the edges together to seal.
Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
