Ingredients
2c flour
2T sugar
2tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2c shortening
1/4c cold sweet butter
1T good bourbon
3T milk
Preparation
Sift together first 4 items. Cut in shortening and butter until mixture is crumbly and appears mealy. Combine whiskey and milk, slowly drizzle into dry mixture while gently stirring. Careful not to over mix. Form into flattish ball, wrap in cello and put in fridge for about 1/2 hour. When chilled, roll out on floured board until thin. Use 6 inch round cutter to make perfect circles. This dough can be used for sweet or savory. I like it because it is a baked empanada rather than fried in oil. Fill with whatever you like and bake at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes. I wouldn’t try making them for 200. But do try this one at home!
