Empanadillas de Guayaba y Queso - Puerto Rico traditional dish

🧂 재료

16 count Empanadilla dough discs(store-bought or homemade)
6 oz Guava paste(cut into small cubes)
8 oz Cream cheese(softened and cut into small cubes)
2 tablespoons Powdered sugar(for dusting)
1 tablespoon Water(for sealing)
as needed for frying Vegetable oil

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, combine the cubed guava paste and cream cheese. Mix gently.
2
Assemble the empanadillas: Lay out the empanadilla dough discs on a clean surface. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the guava and cream cheese mixture onto one half of each disc.
3
Moisten the edges of the dough with water. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal.
4
Crimp the edges with a fork or by folding them to ensure a secure seal.
5
Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).
6
Carefully place the empanadillas into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
7
Remove the empanadillas from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
8
Once slightly cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
