Empanada ..by Azzil Gencturk

This is usually and has always been my favorite snack while I was still in the Philippines. These can be seen in our gatherings, aside from the pansit that would always be around in our big table! Almost all aound the world has their different versions of empanadas and names for this., here in Turkey as where am staying now, they do have their Borek or Poğaca, but there's no other that can stop me from eating our very own Empanada, as the song says...JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH... anyway much to my intro...here's the recipe with its tutorial.. again thanks to you Azzil Gencturk for sharing.
