INSTRUCTIONS

CRUST
FILLING
GLAZE
Even thought I am not very happy with Chile Pepper magazine it does have
some good recipes. This is a recipe for empanadas that I took from the mag.
I love this stuff! I usually make a chipotle cream sauce to put on top of
them. Hope some of y'all try this, cause is truly is wonderful.
To make the crust, sift the dry ingredients into a bowl. work the margarine
or butter into the flour using your fingers or two forks. Add the milk and
mix just until the dough comes together and can be formed easily into a
ball. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
Saute, the beef in a skillet until well done, stirring frequently with a
fork to keep the meat broken-up. In a separate skillet, saute, the onion,
bell pepper and jalapenos until the onions are a golden brown. Combine all
the remaining ingredients for the filling and mix well.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Divide the dough in two and roll out to a thickness of 1/8" and cut into
circles approximately 7" in diameter (the lid to a pot of the appropriate
size works well here). Spoon the filling onto one half of each leaving room
to fold in half and seal. Press the edges with the tip of a fork and cut a
1" slice in the top. Place on an ungreased baking pan.
Combine the ingredients for the glaze.
Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 and continue baking until the
crust turns light brown. Brush the tops with glaze and bake for an
additional 5 minutes.

A Message from our Provider:

“What’s missing in the name ‘JES S’? U!”

They who avow the doctrines distinguished by the name of Calvinistic, ought, if consistent with their own principles, to be most gentle and forbearing of all men, in meekness instructing them that oppose. With us, it is a fundamental maxim, that a man can receive nothing but what is given him from heaven (John 3:27). If, therefore, it has pleased God to give us the knowledge of some truths, which are hidden from others, who have the same outward means of information; it is a just reason for thankfulness to Him, but will not justify our being angry with them; for we are no better or wiser than they in ourselves, and might have opposed the truths which we now prize, with the same eagerness and obstinacy, if His grace had not made us to differ. If the man, mentioned in John 9, who was born blind, on whom our Lord graciously bestowed the blessing of sight, had taken a cudgel and beat all the blind men he met, because they would not see, his conduct would have greatly resembled that of an angry Calvinist.
