Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 ounces cold butter
3 whole eggs
SELECT A FILLING:

Steps:

  • Cut the butter into the flour mixed with the salt until the butter is the size of peas. Add one egg at a time until the dough forms a consistency that you can flatten in your flowered hand. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest 2 hours. This dough should not be handled too much. Roll into balls and flatten and place in little 1-inch ungreased pie tins. Fill with beef, shrimp, chicken or cheese filling (see below). Make a small ball of dough, flatten and place on top of the little pie. Squeeze around the edges to seal. Beat an egg yolk and paint the top of the little pies. Bake in a hot oven-400 degrees for 20 minutes and then reduce heat and bake at 350 degrees for 30 more minutes and serve immediately. These pies may be made in any size pans. The small pies are made for appetizers, the larger pies for a main course cut into serving pieces. If it is a large pie, you could call it an empadão. The individual meal size pies are called empada. The baking time will vary according to the pan size.
