  Okay you can cook your empanadas in two different ways, fry or bake. I tried both and I prefer the fried. I will give you both options to try for yourselves!

  Step 5
  Assembling Empanadas: Form the dough into 2 inch balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball out into a thin circle. Spoon some of the meat mixture onto the center, then fold into half-moon shapes. Seal edges by brushing egg wash and pressing with your fingers or a fork, ( i used the fork method)

  Step 6
  BAKING EMPANADAS: Preheat oven to 400* Lightly brush the top of the empanadas with the egg yolk; this will give them a nice golden glow when they bake. Let the empanadas rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until ready to bake. Bake for about 25 minutes.

  Step 7
  FRYING EMPANADAS: Heat oil in a deep-fryer or deep pot to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). Place one or two pies into the fryer at a time. Cook for about 5 minutes, turning once to brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels, and serve hot.

  Step 8
  If you wish, squeeze lime juice over the top of the empanadas before serving. Serve with sour cream or with my famous Salsa Verde!! RECIPE LINK TO FOLLOW. (which is what I wish I had made that night I made these, but my kids ate them SO fast, I couldn't get them cooled off in time to serve) I hope your family enjoys these as much as mine have! Enjoy!!
