empanadas de dulce

June 22nd, 2009

You possibly will not think you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes empanadas de dulce but it is possible. It is pivotal to not eat empanadas de dulce or other high calorie deserts every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself rich food once per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories per day, and then on the 7th day, I eat what I please – without going crazy of course.

I have been using this method for the last month and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any pills or diet drinks. I have only been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day of the week.

I also find it helps to have a little support when on a weight loss program and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to enable you to monitor your progress and attain your goals.

Empanadas de Dulce

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lard or butter
1/4 cup water
Fillings of applesauce, pineapple,
    peaches, mincemeat or pumpkin

Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Blend in butter to crumbs. Add water and mix until pastry dough comes to a ball, leaving the side of the bowl. Roll out 1/8 inch thick. Cut 4-inch circles. (A can with both ends removed works well.) All fillings should be sweetened and spiced with cinnamon. Place a teaspoon of filling on half of each round. Moisten edges and fold dough in half over filling. Seal with a work or fingers at outer edge. Bake on cookie sheets for 20 minutes at 375 degrees F or deep fry in hot vegetable oil. Cool on racks or paper. Makes 15 to 20 turnovers.

Apricot and Almond Filling
Heat some apricot jam until it melts, then stir in finely ground blanched almonds. The mixture should be thick enough to holds its shape. Flavor with almond extract, cinnamon or grated orange rind, adding only a small amount at a time.

Coconut and Brown Sugar Filling
Mash together flaked coconut with brown sugar. Moisten with lime juice and a little honey. Flavor to taste with ground ginger.
