Empanada disks can be bought at any store on the freezer section. Keep dough frozen until ready to use. Make sure dough is not frozen and flexible to work with before you begin. Place 1 disk at the time onto a work surface. Place filling in the center leaving 3/4 of an inch all the way around the disk. Fold over to form a semi-circle and with the tip of the fork press down to seal the empanada. Note: Make sure the empanadas are properly sealed before frying. Preheat oil. Over medium heat fry empanadas, working in batches on vegetable oil about 1 inch deep for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer to paper towels and allow to drain and slightly cool. For sweet variations allow to cool completely before adding toppings. The Filling: Many fillings can be made, sweet, salty or savory. The only requisite is that the fillings are cooked before adding to empanadas. Pick your favorite and don't be afraid to make your own combinations For snacks (salty or savory): Cheeses such as mozzarella, parmesan or Swiss Salami Ham Olives (green or black) Onions Peppers Garlic Ground meats such as turkey chicken or pork (all cooked and seasoned before making empanadas) Hard boiled or scrambled eggs and bacon (for breakfast) Sundried tomatoes Toppings for snacks: Dipping sauces such as marinara or garlic, sour cream, Russian, Italian or ranch dressing and French onion dip For deserts (sweet): Guava paste Shredded coconut Raisins Apple pie filling Pumpkin Pears Plums Or any other fruit.
