Chilean empanadas

Today I made Chilean empanadas for me, my sister and her boyfriend. Since we all love Tacos I desided today to try something new ans interesting. We all really liked it! :)

Ingredients:
-500 g minced meat
-water
-Santa Maria's taco spice-mix
-corn

-5 dl flour
-1 tsp salt
-½ tsp baking powder
-100 g margarine
-1 ½ - 2 dl boiling water


 Fry the minced meat in a pan, when it's completely fryed add a little water and the taco spice-mix. Add the corn (as much as you like) and mix it all up.

Measure up the flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl. crumble the butter into the mixture and then add the boiling water. Now work it all into a dough. If it's too sticky add some more flour.
Devide the dough into 5-6 smaller doughs. Roll them and flatten them out into circles big as a small plate. Then you put in the meat on half of the circle and fold the other half over it. Press the edges together with a fork.
Brush with egg ontop to get a nice glossy surface.
Put the empanadas in the oven for 20 min, 225 degrees (celsius).




I give this recipe 4/5 stars!

It was a very easy and quick dish to make, and it was very tasty. It could have been a little creamier but the taco spices and corn combied very nice. A fast and easy dish!
