I tried this recipe today & it was amazing 🤤 i moved from south Tex to ND & I miss my pan dulce 🥺 All i did was half the recipe that’s too much empanadas ☺️☺️ thanks for the recipe 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Excellent presentation. I like caramel empanadas but pineapple is my most favorite. Mother used to drizzle a glaze on her pineapple fried pies. She didn’t make empanadas per se, but I have had them.
im sure the pineapple preserve is sweet and nice, but it's a little redundant to simply use good pineapple as a fiber filler for the jam. You can make the filling out of thickened pineapple with sugar and you are basically making a preserve (that already has the pulp). Check it out!
My mom’s made them for years, and I always thought it was too hard for me to do. But then I actually gave it a try and found that it wasn’t actually that hard 😅
I’ve never made non-dessert empanadas, so I actually don’t know if this type of dough would work. But please let me know how it goes if you give it a try! 😊
Krystal Nagel Sorry, there’s not really an estimated timing to look out for..it’s more on looking at the texture. The main goal is to reach the stage of the “sweat,” where the mixture becomes smooth and fluffy. Once, you’ve reached that stage, you can move on to the next step. It may take you a bit longer to reach that stage if you are doing this recipe by hand. But if you are doing it on a standing mixer, you should be able to reach that stage a lot faster. Hopefully this helps, sorry I couldn’t give you a time frame 😕
Are you mixing/kneading by hand or are you using a stand mixer? I found that when I’m doing it by hand, I only need 4 cups of flour. When I was doing it with a stand mixer, I required 5 cups of flour to get the dough working. You may need to add more flour if it is still not at a doughish consistency.
Will say on my run through, it may not be a good idea to stack the empanada flats on top of each other. Had a fun time trying to take them off of each other
