Making Empanadas

While I was in Talca this past weekend, my friend's mom taught me how to make empanadas. Well, half way. I don't know how to make the filling or the dough, but I sure can roll them out and stuff them. Empanadas are sort of like little individual meat or cheese pies. You can fry or bake them.
Rolling out the dough for fried empanadas.
 This reminded me of rolling out pie crust dough with Grandma Shea. I know my way around a rolling pin thanks to her.
 This filling is made of chicken and diced, fried onions.
Generally, you add a segment of hard boiled egg and an olive to the empanada.
We had both fried and baked empanadas. I love them both, but maybe the fried a little more!
