OBS Mex/Tex Butt

[ArnieM]

A little advice Arnie. You better buy her some carrots carats before you go in there! Might not ever get out otherwise. ROFL  :D

First, I apologize for having gone OT.  I believe that if you can't live life, no matter how bad it gets, with some humor it's not worth living at all.  It took my last boss, a CEO, a bit of time to get used to me.

Are you kidding?  I took those carets in there with me.  Otherwise I never would have gotten out.  But, MY butt now has a headache.

Ok here ya go with some carnita empanadas, and mashed tater ones too  ;D

Start out with the shell. I roll it to 6" round.



Into the empanada press. Yeah i cheat  :D  ;D Filled with the carnitas.



This one with mashed taters  ;D



Here are a few. I can hardly get through eating 1 now. Before surgery i could eat like 4 of em.


So now you know what they are. They go by a few different names.

The crust is such a beautiful color, too!
What do you add to the crust to make that color?
Is that a secret, too?  :'(

I do not care what they are called anymore, just call me for dinner! They look great.  :)

[ArnieM]

I have the same question as Carolyn.  Did you make the dough or buy the rounds?

I found a dough recipe here http://mexicanfood.about.com/od/authenticfamilyrecipes/r/empanadadough.htm but I don't think it's going to come out looking like yours.

I had a Cornish Pasty in Ireland that looked just like that...   It had lamb and veggies in it.

I think dem Yoopers call those Pasties as well..
