PUMPKIN
TURNOVERS

Fresh Pumpkin Filling

1 small canned pumpkin

3 cinnamon sticks

5 whole cloves

1 cup packed
dark brown sugar

Turn over Dough

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup shortening

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Glaze

Canned evaporated milk or egg white

Cinnamon-sugar mixture (1 teaspoon ground cinnamon mixed with 1/4 cup sugar)

Make pumpkin filling:

In a small pot add canned pumpkin
and cinnamon sticks and cloves. Bring liquid to a boil and then remove from the
heat.

Remove cinnamon and cloves and add
pumpkin puree and over medium-low heat add sugar let it melt into the pumpkin
puree, stirring occasionally so it will not burn or stick to the pot. The pumpkin
puree will turn a dark color.

To help puree set, place in the
refrigerator for 15 min. If some liquid separates, remove it with a spoon
before using so the filling is not watery.

You can make the empanada dough
after your filling has chilled.

Make turn over dough:

Mix the first 3 dry ingredients. Cut in the shortening. It is best to use your
hands. Add the eggs, milk, sugar, and cinnamon. Continue
to work in with your hands until you have a soft dough. Split the dough in
half, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
