If you do not have a food processor, you'll have to cut in the fat
using two forks, or far better, a pastry blender. If you do not have a
pastry blender, I suggest you get one. They're fairly small, inexpensive,
and invaluable for cutting fat into dough as for making pie crust, biscuits,
coffee cakes, or other similar recipes. To answer your question, I'd say
you're going for a mixture that resembles coarse cornmeal. Jon

I just looked at the dough recipe so I can get the ingredients ready.
Recipe calls for a food processor, and to pulse the 1-1/2 sticks of
butter in with the flour and salt.
I don't have a food processor, so will need to do this by hand. Before
I add in the eggs and milk, is the pulsed flour/salt/butter mixture
suppose to look like cornmeal?
Thanks,
Dani

You can make them any size you like.
Use anything from the bottom of a tin can to a coffee cup to cut them
out.
I use a diced tomato can for biscuits and empanadas. I hope yours come
out
good.

Subject: [blindcooks] Question About Empanadas
Hi, Everyone.
I want to make something for David's birthday this Friday. I'm out of
oats, so no apple crisp. I've got flour and all the other stuff, so
was thinking empanadas instead. Of course I've never made them before.
But I can sure eat them when they're around. *smiley*
I found a recipe for empanada dough, but am not sure how big to make
the circles that hold the filling. I was thinking maybe the size of a
dessert plate? I'm also not sure how to go about cutting them out.
Would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Dani
