I touched on this a couple threads back but wanted to share the best empanada/baked fruit tart/etc. dough recipe as a whole. Fill it with whatever you wish. We happened to have some leftover Salisbury steak and gravy so put it all in the food processor for the filling. There’s sure to be an Indian recipe here that could be used.

Dough:
1 stick butter
4 oz cream cheese
1 C flour

Whirl in the food processor. Chill for half an hour. Roll out. Yields sixteen 3 3/4” rounds. Fill it, fold in half and pinch the edges. Or use a dough press. Bake at 375 for 15-18 minutes.

Mr. b, who doesn’t give much of a critic said it was a keeper and finished them all off that night. So flakey and super simple.

That pastry sounds great.

I want to try Tamales, soon. I’m here in the midst of the barrio, and I’ve never tried making them.
