    1½ hours | 30 min prep | SERVES 20 Flaky Dough

    4 cups flour

    3 egg yolks, beaten

    2 tablespoons sugar

    1/4 teaspoon salt

    2/3 cup water

    Filling

    1/2 kg ground pork

    4 potatoes, diced

    1/2 cup raisins

    1/4 cup lard

    2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish

    1 cup boiled minced garbanzo beans

    salt and pepper

    Mix beaten eggs, water, salt and sugar and mix well.

    Add this to the flour and knead well until very smooth.

    Let rest for 10-15 minutes.

    Roll on board slightly dusted with cornstarch until very thin.

    With pork lard brush surface thoroughly.

    Start rolling tightly as jelly roll.

    Cut very fine around 2 mm.

    Set aside.

    On the same dough, pinch a portion and make as many as the ojadre (the rolled one) put the ojadre on top of the small ones, brush with melted lard, cover with banan leaf as thin as posible to a round form.

    Put 1 tbsp filling in the center, put 1 sliced of hard boiled eggs, form the empanada, as turnover, flute the edges and fry in deep hot fat until golden brown.

    To prepare filling: heat lard, add garlic, onions and ground pork.

    Cook for a while.

    Add diced potatoes and all the ingredients, cook until all ingredients are tender.

    Season to taste.

    Add 4 tbsp flour, stir very welll until all ingredients have blended.

    Let cook until ready to use.

    But you said that you came from the northern part of the country, so I would assume that you came from Ilocos.

    here are the two types of Ilocos Empanada

    Filipino Empanada Recipe

    If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU8Dp

    The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
