Preparation Steps
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of white flour and 2 sticks of margarine, mixing until crumbly. Create a well in the center, pour in the box of heavy whipping cream, and blend until it reaches a cookie dough consistency.
- Divide your dough into 30 equal balls, rolling each one gently between your palms. Using a tortilla press equipped with plastic inserts, flatten each ball to about 4 inches in diameter.
- On one half of each flattened dough circle, place about 3 teaspoons of miel de coco, keeping the filling centered and allowing some margin around the edges.
- Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape, ensuring the miel de coco filling is completely enclosed. Use a fork to crimp the edges firmly.
- Place the sealed empanadas on two lightly floured baking sheets, ensuring they have enough space between them. Brush the tops lightly with the beaten egg.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the empanadas for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden brown.
