If you don’t have a deep-fry thermometer, you can still estimate the temperature of the oil. Here’s how: place the handle of your wooden spoon, or a wooden chopstick, into the oil. If a steady stream of bubbles emerge from the wood, the oil is perfect. (If the oil starts rapidly bubbling, or if few bubbles are present, then the oil is too hot or too cold, respectively.)

I have been making Empanadas for years but lost my recipe. I went on to your website and followed your recipe. I am so glad I did. These were outstanding! I think better than the local place we go to get them. Thank you so much!! I am anxious to try some of your other recipes!

The beef empanada recipe was very good. The meat mature was very tasty. The recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of meat in the pastry. This was such a tiny amount compared to the size of the pastry. I used 2 and a half tablespoons of meat per pastry which filled it much better. Thankfully, I tripled the meat recipe.

This is the best empanada I have ever eaten. I made them and brought to work and everyone loved them and wanted the recipe.
