Tonight I wanted to make a Brazilian surprise for him. Every single time we traveled by bus in Brasil, he had this pastry (empadao de frango, as they call it at the bus stops)... But try to guess? We did not have eggs or milk (Tomorrow is grocery day!!!). So, I googled for some recipes and created my own.
It takes...
2 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 cup of water
1/4 cup of olive oil
1 table spoon of margarine
1 tea spoon of baking powder
How to make it
Put all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the oil and margarine. The water will be the just enough amount to make it soft but not sticking on the hand or on the bowl.
It doesn't grow a lot, so make sure we have it thick or thin as you prefer it. I suggest to take it to bake (350oF) before adding the filling, but keep in mind that it goes back into the oven, so just enough to become a little hard.
You can make a little more and cover whatever you decided to have in it. In this case would be nice to have some more margarine or egg to pass on it and give that "professional health" look.
Oh! Just keep in mind we are 2 people here... If you have kids or visitors, I strongly suggest to make more. Feel free to create your own fillings, just do not make it too liquid or you may melt the dough... hehehe
Good luck and bon appetit!!! :)
P.S. Mooooom, "Michael liked it!" :P
