PUMPKIN EMPANADAS
Steps:
- Cut the pumpkin into 1 inch slices.
- Place the chunks of panela or piloncillo, the water and the spices in large pot. Cook until the panela chunks have dissolved.
- Bring the panela or piloncillo syrup to a boil over medium heat, add the pumpkin slices and boil for about 30 minutes. Try to avoid stirring while the pumpkin is cooking.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour or until the syrup thickens.
- Let the candied pumpkin slices cool down until safe to handle.
- Remove the skins from the pumpkins and reserve the candied pumpkin pulp for the empanadas.
- Place a spoonful of the candied pumpkin mix on the center of each empanada disc.
- Fold the empanada discs and press the edges together using your fingers. You can either use a fork to press down on the edges and seal the empanadas; or you can use your finger to twist the edges and form a curl like seal.
- Refrigerate the empanadas until ready to bake.
- Pre-heat the oven to 375F.
- Lightly brush the top of the empanadas with the egg wash.
- Sprinkle the sugar on the top of the empanadas.
- Bake the empanadas in a pre-heated oven at 375 F for approximately 20 minutes or until golden on top.
- Serve either warm or cold with ice cream or honey crème fraiche. You can also use any of the leftover panela syrup to drizzle on top.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and baking powder together. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs; stir the water in, about 2 tablespoons at a time, just until you can gather the dough together. Knead the dough a few times in the bowl, then scrape it out onto a floured surface. Cut the dough in quarters, and cut each quarter into thirds to make 12 equal portions. Roll the portions into balls. Cover the dough balls with a cloth, and allow to rest while you make the filling.
- Mix the pumpkin, 2 eggs, 1 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves together until smooth. On a floured surface, roll each dough ball out into a thin circle about 6 inches across; spoon about 1/3 cup of filling into the center of the dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to make a half-moon shaped pie, and crimp the edges of the crust together with a fork, leaving little fork lines in the dough. Gently lay the empanadas onto the prepared baking sheets. Brush the top of each pie with beaten egg.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is hot and the crusts are shiny and browned, about 20 minutes.

PUMPKIN EMPANADAS
My mother-in-law makes these every Christmas. Empanadas are a staple in the Hispanic community. It's a little time consuming but South Texans love these! Serve with hot coffee or hot cocoa!

Steps:
- To make pastry dough: Place butter and shortening in freezer for 15 minutes then cut both into small pieces. In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour and salt by pulsing 3 to 4 times.
- Add butter and pulse 5 to 6 times until it is blended uniformly. Add shortening and pulse another 3 to 4 times.
- Remove lid of food processor and pour in the ice water and egg. Replace lid and pulse 5 times. Stop to scrape down the sides and process for another 5 pulses.
- The dough should hold together when clinched in your fist.
- Place mixture in a large zip-top bag, squeeze together until it forms a ball, press into a rounded disk, and then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- To make pumpkin filling:.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter; stir in the brown sugar. Let this heat for a few minutes until the brown sugar is dissolved into the butter. Stir in the pumpkin and the spices.
- Continue to stir over medium heat for about 3 to 5 minutes, or long enough that the pumpkin begins to stiffen and hold its shape. Test this by picking up a small amount in a spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in the orange peel.
- In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar; set aside.
- Prepare oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet. Take the chilled pastry dough and divide it in half.
- Divide each half into eight pieces. On a floured board, roll each of the pieces into a circle about 4 inches across and 1/8-inch thick.
- Fill each with a generous tablespoon of the cooled pumpkin filling. Fold the circle into a half-moon shape enclosing filling.
- Using a fork, press down the edges into a crimped border. Not only will this look nice, it will help keep the empanada closed after baking.
- With a pastry brush, paint the top with the egg wash (made by combining one egg with a teaspoon of water).
- Bake approximately 15 minutes or until tops are golden and the edges are lightly browned. Sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar immediately after removing from the oven.

- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar until it dissolves with the butter. Stir in the pumpkin and the spices. Continue to stir over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Make sure the filling is not too watery; otherwise let it cook for a couple more minutes.
- Mix the first 3 dry ingredients. Cut in the shortening with the dry ingredients. Works better if you use your hands. Add the eggs, milk and sugar. Continue to work in with your hands. Split the dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap and put into the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes. Take out one half of the dough and split it into 12-18 balls of dough. Depending on how small you want your empanadas. I prefer one dozen per half of the dough. They also fit nicely on one large cookie sheet.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. You can fill your empanadas with any preserves made ahead of time.
