Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Sweet Coconut Empanadas
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of white flour with 2 sticks of margarine until sandy texture. Create a well, pour in 6 ounces of whipping cream and mix until cookie dough consistency.
- Divide the dough into 30 equal-sized balls. Line tortilla press with plastic inserts and press each ball into a 4-inch circle.
- On one hemisphere of the empanada circle, scoop about 3 teaspoons of miel de coco and fold to tuck the filling inside.
- Seal the empanadas by pressing edges together, using a fork to crimp decoratively.
- Arrange empanadas on two floured baking sheets and brush the tops with beaten egg.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven, cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm.

Notes
Empanadas can be frozen uncooked and baked directly from the freezer. Avoid overfilling to prevent bursting.
