The word "Empanada" comes from the Spanish word "empanar" meaning "to bread" or "to bake pastry".
An empanada is prepared similarly to a pie cut in pieces, making it more easy when eaten. It is made of a thin circular shaped dough patty over stuffing that creates its circular shaped. Just about any food or combination can be made as a filling like meat, fish, vegetables, cheese, fruits and even left-overs.
It is a common delicacy mostly in Latin America, the Carribean, Portugal, Spain and Philippines as a stuffed pastry.
Besides Empanadas, pastries, and mini pies, Use a slice of sandwich bread with pb&j to make a great little snack. When you press it closed, you can conviently take off the crust with your finger I think they look an uncrustable-but definitely cheeper and better tasting. You can make and freeze them. Clean up is simple. Sometimes with certain doughs, you can spray the press with non-stick spray to help dough stick together, and not to the groves.
