Empanada Dough

Preparation

1 Sift flour with baking powder and salt. Add egg yolk, egg, milk and shortening. Mix to make a stiff dough. Divide into 20 pieces and roll each thinly into a circle.
2 To prepare empanadas: Place a spoonful of stuffing on half of each dough circle. Fold dough over filling. Wet the edge with water, fold over again and seal. Bake in a 200°C/400°F oven until cooked and lightly browned.

Special instructions

I got this recipe from a Peruvian friend, the dough is great and I make up a new filling every time. Either Beef, veggie beef, chicken, mushrooms or spinach, let your imagination run wild.
