Empanada/ hand pie/ meat pie tips and tricks?

Sorry! What ads? I didn’t notice! Is it my brain or my software?

We didn’t love them baked so this pan of them will be fried- then we have to decide and do it- we’re supposed to be there in 3 1/2 hours with ready to eat food and not be covered in flour!

The filling is awesome, though- totally nailed it. :+1:

This is exciting!

When you’re ready; Which recipe did you end up using?

You also nailed the almost impossible (for me) turning/twisting of the closure. Anyone can come up with a great filling, but not your lovely crimp!

Agreed, the edging is beautiful.

I used j89k’s link to Epicurious in the end. It was easy to handle and fried up nicely.

I didn’t win but ours was the only platter empty at the end of the night (and I made A LOT of them! ) so they were clearly liked by several people. Some had never had Peruvian food and liked the flavors (the sauces were a hit,) so that was cool. It’s not a super foodie crowd- hot rods, kustom kulture, racing and vintage houses/clothing/housewares are what ties us all together.

It was a lot of fun- looking for the next get together there!

Thank you- I watched some youtube videos before I did it. The twist really keeps the filling from leaking.

What fun!

I didn’t take any pics Saturday but this is the man’s roadster:

Which we tow to the races with our ‘54 truck, which is my daily driver

To stay on topic… the back of the truck would be half as full if we were willing to eat crappy food but since we aren’t we have to pack camp stoves, pots and pans, etc. this year we took Indian food for one night and cauliflower gnocchi with chicken and veggies in garlic butter (to keep it simple. :rofl:)

You did win! This is all the proof we need! No doubt about it!:dumpling:

If the recipe is not a secret, could you write up one so the keen and maybe not so keen bakers can have a go, please?

Yes, you’re the winner @WeezieD . The Onions have spoken.

Wow, great taste in rides. That is one cool daily driver. It isn’t about miles per gallon. It’s about smiles per mile!

Looks interesting; have you tried it? I know someone on HO has. I remember thinking the “soup dumpling” part made it different from most hand pies I’ve tried.

Found it!

I mostly make Jamaican patties.

I haven’t made it yet.

I mostly buy empanadas and patties. I’ve only had 2 salteñas, both purchased.
