Empanadas to celebrate Chile's Independence day!

As soon as Oscar found out his mom was making empanadas he wanted her to make it with lard instead of vegetable shortening. So making lard was his contribution to this recipe :)

First we bought pork fat and asked the butcher to grind it

Then put it in the crock pot

Strain through cheesecloth 

Store overnight

End product, it is so white, whiter than the picture

"Pino"

"Masa"

So pretty!

In process :)

Finally!

Time to eat! It is soooooo gooooood :)
