Ingredients
Banana Filling
- 4 cups sliced bananas
- 1/4 cup Dixie Crystals Light Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Empanada Dough
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour*
- 1/4 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar

- 1 cup warm milk
Egg Wash

Directions
- Prepare baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon baking mat. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced bananas, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir to coat banana slices evenly. Set aside.
- To a food processor add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pulse to combine. Add shortening and pulse to combine. Slowly add milk, process until dough comes together.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface; knead until smooth. Cover; let rest 30 minutes in refrigerator before using.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Roll out chilled dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a drinking glass, cut out round disc shapes for empanadas. Spoon banana filling in center of each empanada disc. Fold, seal with a fork then place on a baking sheet. Brush with egg wash.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, dust with powdered sugar.
