Empanadillas De Chorizo - Chorizo Pastries
- 1 slender chorizo (or pepperoni) sausage cut in about 40 slices
- 1 raw egg yolk
- 1 recipe Empanadilla dough
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Divide the dough in two. Roll out half; place sausage slices on rolled dough, pressing them down slightly. Roll out other half of dough and put it over the sausages. Using a cookie cutter or a thin edged glass, cut out a circle around each sausage slice large enough to leave a margin of dough around the sausage. Pinch the edges of the two halves together, brush tops with beaten egg yolks diluted in a little water, prick pastries with a fork, and bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until brown.
