Empanada Dough
In a medium bowl, mix together:
- 2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup cornmeal
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
Cut in with the pastry blender:
- 3 Tbs shortening
Add and mix well:
- 2 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup water
Knead until smooth on a lightly floured surface.
Cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
Roll out dough on the floured surface and use a cookie cutter to make 3-4" circles. Once each circle is removed from the rest of the dough, roll again if desired.
Add filling, fold over, crimp edges with a fork, and place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Bake at 350° until bottoms are lightly brown. Check after about 10 minutes.
