  • Cranberry Sauce
  • 3 tbsp Orange Juice

Instructions
 

Empanada Dough

  • Mix the flour and salt in a mixing bowl
  • Add room temperature butter and mix
  • Mix eggs into milk and pour slowly into mixing bowl, continuing to mix until dough is clumpy

Dipping Sauce

  • Mix remaining cranberry sauce and 3 tbsp of orange juice. Mix to the desired consistency.

Stuffing Empanadas

  • Split the dough into two large balls. Set one aside
  • Take one ball and roll out the dough into a thin sheet. I do this one small section at a time constructing individual empanadas as I work.
  • Take some of the filling, place it into the dough, fold in half and seal edges by pinching and folding around the entire empanada.
  • Once empanada's are stuffed, preheat oven to 400 degrees F
    Beat one egg and brush it over the top of each empanada.
  • Bake for 15 minutes
  • Serve warm with dipping sauce.
