CHILEAN-STYLE CHEESE EMPANADAS (FRITAS DE QUESO)
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.
- Gently mix the vegetable shortening into the flour.
- Place the milk and water in a saucepan and heat until almost boiling.
- Stir the hot liquid into the flour mixture. Add more water (1 tablespoon at a time) if the mixture seems too dry and crumbly, or add more flour if the mixture is too wet and sticky.
- Knead dough gently until well mixed and homogenous.
- Divide dough into 16 portions, and roll each piece into a ball. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
- Grate or finely chop cheese.
- Roll each ball of dough into a 6- to 7-inch circle.
- Place 1 ounce of cheese in the center of each dough circle.
- Fold the dough in half over the cheese to form a semicircle.
- Press down firmly along edges to seal.
- Roll the edge inward over itself and press down again to seal.
- Crimp edge decoratively with a fork, pressing to seal.
- In a deep-sided skillet, pot, or deep-fat fryer, heat several inches of vegetable oil to 350 F. Fry empanadas in batches, turning at least once, until golden brown.
- Drain empanadas on paper towels.
- Empanadas can be kept warm in a 200 F oven for up to 1 hour before serving. Serve warm.

EMPANADAS FRITAS DE QUESO
These empanadas use queso chanco, but a good substitute is a mixture of Swiss and Havarti. I usually bake mine, but they are really good fried. I serve these with a chile-Chile sauce.

Steps:
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Combine the lard and milk in a saucepan, and heat until the milk is hot. Pour the hot milk into the flour mixture, and stir until a dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic. Cover, and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 4-inch rounds. Brush the outer edges of each circle with beaten egg, and fill with a small mound of cheese. Fold each circle in half to form a half-moon; press the edges with your fingers or a fork to seal. Place the empanadas onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with remaining egg.
- Bake in preheated oven until golden-brown, about 20 minutes.
- Alternatively, the empanadas may be deep fried in 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oil. If deep frying, do not brush the outsides of the empanadas with egg. Drain on paper towels.
