👨🍳 Instrukcje
- 1
Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, combine the cubed guava paste and cream cheese. Mix gently.

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.

Crimp the edges with a fork or by folding them to ensure a secure seal.

Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).

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.

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.

Once slightly cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
