CHEESE AND GRAPE TURNOVERS This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Thomason Estate in Wylie, Texas in 1992. Ingredients:
1/4 cup cream cheese softened |
4 tablespoons dark brown sugar |
1-1/2 cups seedless grapes coarsely chopped |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 cups all purpose flour |
1/2 cup vegetable shortening |
1/3 cup cold water |
2 tablespoons melted butter |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Mix cream cheese and 2 tablespoons sugar until smooth then gently stir in grapes and set aside.
3. Sift baking powder, salt and flour into a mixing bowl then add shortening with pastry cutter.
4. Mix in shortening to form a coarse meal then add enough water to form a loose dough.
5. Transfer to a floured surface and roll out dough 1/4 thick.
6. Using a cutter or knife make 12 rounds.
7. Place a large spoonful of filling on half of each dough round.
8. Lightly wet edges with water and press to seal then arrange empanadas on a baking sheet.
9. Brush with melted butter then sprinkle remaining sugar and top and bake 20 minutes.
