Empanadas Dulces (Sweet Hand Pies)

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.

2. 2

   In a bowl add the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and shortening, and cream together. Then add the beer a little at a time until the mixture starts forming a ball. Let it rest for about 15-20 minutes covered in plastic wrap.

3. 3

   Now roll out the dough so that you can cut circles out of it. Cut out whatever sized circles you prefer. Into the middle of each circle, add a little bit of jam (I used fig jam). Then fold the dough circle in half, press edges together and crimp the edges with a fork. Place the assembled pies in a Pyrex dish.

4. 4

   Bake the empanadas until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

5. 5

   When done, remove them from the oven and immediately roll them in sugar and cinnamon.

6. 6

   Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

7. 7

   You can fill them with any jam you want.
