Empanadas de Dulce; Yummy Stuff
Nothing as good as dulce de batata (sweet potato jam) inside an empanada. I baked them, but you can also fry them. I was trying to be artsy, but failed miserable, so by the end just focused on sealing them tightly. I failed in that sometimes as well.
How to make:
buy some dulce de batata, I get mine at El Chapparral, a Mexican market in San Jose on Santa Clara Street. They have products from Argentina.
buy some empanada shells. I get mine at the Mexican store in Manteca at La Super Altena Market but they have them at El Chapparral as well.
I sliced the empanada shells in quarters. Lay on quarter shell on counter, add a small piece of dulce, put another quarter shell on top. Seal the edges as best you can, maybe with a fork if needed. Put on cookie sheet which has been sprayed with non stick oil. Bake as indicated on empanada package. (A bit longer than I baked them.)
Best to let them sit a few minutes to avoid a burned tongue. I had a hard time with this. Enjoy!!!
