Chicken Empanadas

    TOO DANG SALTY! SALTY! SALTY! I ended up having to scrape the nice golden-brown crust off the tops, and it was still just insanely salty. The topping was just ridiculous with the salt. I don't even know if the filling tasted good on it's own (smelled good), because the only thing we could taste was salt. If I ever make this again, I will try just mixing a couple teaspoons chili powder in with the egg yolks to brush on the tops, and omit all the salt from the topping altogether. Ruined it.

Ruined it.,These were quite easy to make and was a nice, simple lunch. Thank you, and I may try with beef or pork. 🙂
