Empanada

It's a very nice day outside, the sun is bright, the wind is still and 55 degrees...it's beginning to feel like Christmas. But I'm staying in and making empanada from a recipe my cousin Pearl gave me over 10 years ago. The trick to a sweet dough is the 7-up added to it. Here's the ingredients to the dough: 6 c flour, 1 c sugar 8 egg yolks 1.5 stick butter 1 tbsp salt and 1 c 7-up. For the filling, you can use whatever you want. (By the way, I made too much filling so I'll make it into egg rolls)

You can seal it however way you like.Keep them in the freezer and take out only when ready to use it. You don't have to thaw it, you can fry straight from the freezer. It's done when it's golden brown because the filling is totally cooked.
