Empanadas are said to have originated from Portugal, and the Galicia region of Spain. Our colonists of course, introduced this pastry to us, and we FIlipinos have made it our own. Its name comes from the word "empanar", meaning to cover in a pastry case. Fillings vary from sweet to savory. By that definition, we can say that most countries have their own version of this treat -- panzerotti in Italy, samosas in India, hand pies in America, and so on.
There are empanada doughs for baking, and then there are those that are for frying. In this video, we will show you an easy crust recipe that works both for baking and frying. This crust also keeps well in the freezer, so you can prepare your empanadas ahead, freeze them, and fry or bake them later. This video also includes a recipe for a chicken empanada filling.
Watch and see how you can easily make really flaky and crunchy empanadas from scratch, and in a much shorter time, too!
