Description

this thanksgiving i made pumpkin empanadas for my daughter. she loved em. makes 32 little empanadas (*note* these are flaky not bread-like)

Instructions

1. Set oven to 350*F Make the dough by combining: *1/4 cup sugar *1 tsp salt *2 packages yeast(mainly for flavor the dough doesn't really rise) *1/8 tsp baking powder *1/4 tsp cloves and *1/3 cup water then blend in 1&1/2 cups ap flour mix in 3/4 cup shortening(dough will be really moist and sticky so don't panic lol) add in another 1&1/2 cups ap flour

2. mix filling by stirring together *1 15 oz can pumpkin *1/2 cup sugar *1/4 tsp ground cloves *1/4 tsp ground ginger *1/4 tsp cinnamon set aside

3. keep dividing dough in half until you get 32 mini doughballs. flatten a doughball between hands and then roll out a circle about 1/8in thick

4. place about a 1/2 tsp of filling off center and fold over. pinch around filling to close, then use a glass to cut a half circle shape. repeat until all doughballs have been used

5. place on a greased cookie sheet and bake for about 15 min but watch carefully, they like to burn.
