YUMMY BANANA EMPANADAS This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Jacobs Estate in Mabank, Texas in 1987. Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups flour |
3/4 cup warm water |
1 teaspoon granulated sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
4 tablespoons shortening |
1 egg yolk |
1 egg white |
filling |
3 bananas sliced |
1 tablespoon raisins |
1 tablespoon chopped pecans |
1 teaspoon honey |
Directions:
1. Measure flour and sugar into bowl and stir to mix then add shortening and cut into flour.
2. Dissolve salt in water and mix in egg yolk then add to flour mixture to form medium stiff dough.
3. Knead 5 minutes into smooth ball then divide into 10 equal parts.
4. Roll into balls then cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
5. Roll each ball into a flat round tortilla shape then place on hot pan and cook briefly on one side.
6. Combine filling ingredients and toss gently then place filling in center of tortillas.
7. Brush egg white around edges and fold over to form 1/2 moon and press edges with fork.
8. Cook in oil heated to 350 for 2 minutes and turn as necessary until browned.
9. Remove and drain on paper towels then sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon.
