PUMPKIN EMPANADAS
Steps:
- Cut the pumpkin into 1 inch slices.
- Place the chunks of panela or piloncillo, the water and the spices in large pot. Cook until the panela chunks have dissolved.
- Bring the panela or piloncillo syrup to a boil over medium heat, add the pumpkin slices and boil for about 30 minutes. Try to avoid stirring while the pumpkin is cooking.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour or until the syrup thickens.
- Let the candied pumpkin slices cool down until safe to handle.
- Remove the skins from the pumpkins and reserve the candied pumpkin pulp for the empanadas.
- Place a spoonful of the candied pumpkin mix on the center of each empanada disc.
- Fold the empanada discs and press the edges together using your fingers. You can either use a fork to press down on the edges and seal the empanadas; or you can use your finger to twist the edges and form a curl like seal.
- Refrigerate the empanadas until ready to bake.
- Pre-heat the oven to 375F.
- Lightly brush the top of the empanadas with the egg wash.
- Sprinkle the sugar on the top of the empanadas.
- Bake the empanadas in a pre-heated oven at 375 F for approximately 20 minutes or until golden on top.
- Serve either warm or cold with ice cream or honey crème fraiche. You can also use any of the leftover panela syrup to drizzle on top.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and baking powder together. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs; stir the water in, about 2 tablespoons at a time, just until you can gather the dough together. Knead the dough a few times in the bowl, then scrape it out onto a floured surface. Cut the dough in quarters, and cut each quarter into thirds to make 12 equal portions. Roll the portions into balls. Cover the dough balls with a cloth, and allow to rest while you make the filling.
- Mix the pumpkin, 2 eggs, 1 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves together until smooth. On a floured surface, roll each dough ball out into a thin circle about 6 inches across; spoon about 1/3 cup of filling into the center of the dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to make a half-moon shaped pie, and crimp the edges of the crust together with a fork, leaving little fork lines in the dough. Gently lay the empanadas onto the prepared baking sheets. Brush the top of each pie with beaten egg.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is hot and the crusts are shiny and browned, about 20 minutes.

PUMPKIN EMPANADAS
My mother-in-law makes these every Christmas. Empanadas are a staple in the Hispanic community. It's a little time consuming but South Texans love these! Serve with hot coffee or hot cocoa!
