Directions
Brazilian Empadinhas, The empanadas in Brazil are different from those in other Latin american countries and are called empadas or empadinhas They look more like mini pies , Newcook in New York, you can add any spices you want The thing is, Empadinhas are not spicy The dough, if correctly made, is extremely tasty and flaky; I don’t know why, but we call it Massa Podre (rotten dough) (I don’t recall only egg yolk in the dough, by the way ) My grandmother used to make them all the time They are actually made in very small individual tins It’s A LOT of work, since each individual tiny tin has to be buttered and then arranged on a cookie panto take them to the oven People nowadays buy them already made, for parties , This recipe is missing something I felt that the filling was a little bland Any suggestions on what spices to add to give it more of a kick? Also, I found it was difficult using the muffin tin used too much dough and my lids did not completely enlose it I think it would be easier to make it into a sealed taco, rather than a personal pot pie
