Mini Empanadas

Christina and Stella were assigned to this recipe, Mini Empanadas. However, everyone lends their helping hands when it comes to forming the Mini Empanadas. This recipe is adapted from Southern Living.  It yields 36 tiny empanadas.

These little Latin-inspired Mini Empanadas are irresistible right out of the oven.  They’re are incredibly low in fat because they’re baked, not deep fried and yet they are crispy.  The raisins add a touch of sweetness to these empanadas.
