yup i sure will but i will have to post it tommorow i dont have it with me at the moment. But thanks for showing such interest btw it really makes me feel like im making people happy and thats all i want from cooking. :clap:
 
It looks delicious! Could you please post the recipe? However, I don't get creme fraiche here. I'm guessing sour cream is the substitute?
 
yea sour cream would be a fine substitute. That is basically all that creme fraiche is. But I actually got lazy and did not go to school yesterday so I couldnt get the recipe and I will not be able to get it until tuesday when I go back however, I will post the recipe in this thread and send it through PM to the individuals who have requested it. Thanks again for the kind words!:LOL:
 
Posting here will be fine tsi - we'll ALL get it for sure! I love when pics are posted - it looks wonderful!
 
thanks alot I will post it here I just wanted to make sure the people who wanted it didnt forget to check the thread so I thought I'd send it through PM but either way is fine.
 
They look really good, tsi.
The only thing I notice is that they're "splitting" at the ends and some of the filling is coming out.
To avoid that, dampen the edges of the (uncooked) empanada with a little tiny bit of water or milk. Press down lightly with a fork - that should seal them completely.
Recipe, please!!

You know what?

They sound delicious!!

Down here they make empanadas with cornmeal flour - quite a difference.
No eggwash, either - not really necessary.
 
I <3 Empanadas.

A Restaurant in DC, called "Ceiba" does a very delicious duck confit empanada with a green thai curry dipping sauce.

Mmmmmmm
