EMPANADAS DE CAJETA

Steps:

• Combine the flour and margarine in a large bowl, mixing thoroughly with a stand mixer or with your hands.
• Add the cream bit by bit, mixing the empanada dough until sticky but not watery.
• On a floured surface, take chunks of the dough and roll them into balls that are about 1 and ½ inches wide.
• Place plastic sheets or bags onto your empanada or tortilla press. This way, the dough won't stick to the metal surface.
• Place a dough ball in the middle of the press and press until a circle is formed. Move the flattened disc aside, and repeat the process until all of the dough has been made into circles.
• At this point, you can go ahead and preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Lay out your dough circles, and place about one tablespoon of cajeta in the center of each circle. You want to be careful not to add too much cajeta, or it will melt and run out of the empanadas as they bake.
• On a lightly floured surface, close the empanadas by folding them over the cajeta dollops and then securing the seam by making marks around the edge with your fork.
• Brush the empanadas with the egg wash and place them on a lightly floured baking sheet (or one covered with parchment paper). Bake for 20- 30 minutes or until just golden brown.
• Some people sprinkle the empanadas with granulated sugar before serving, but that's more common in Mexico.
