Thanksgiving is a time for family, gratitude, and great food. While the Thanksgiving staples are always delicious, it’s time to spice things up with a new recipe, and hopefully a new tradition- pumpkin empanadas! Empanadas are a Spanish style hand pie pastry or turnover that can have sweet or savory fillings. Thanksgiving is the perfect time for these when filled with pumpkin for a different take on pumpkin pie.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup vegetable shortening
- 1 cup warm water
- 4 cups canned pure pumpkin
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves
- 1 beaten egg

We hope you try a new recipe for Thanksgiving, and enjoy the holiday with your family!
