Spiced butter crust for empanadas

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1.00 cup masa harina
½ cup flour
½ cup cornmeal
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon southwest spice; see * note
1.00 small jalapeno; stemmed, seeded,
1 ; and minced
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
2½ tablespoon butter
1.00 cup warm water

Directions

* Note: See the "Southwest Spice - Emeril's Southwest Seasoning" recipe which is included in this collection.

In a mixing bowl, combine the masa harina, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, Southwest Seasoning, jalapeno, salt and pepper together and mix thoroughly. Cut the butter in the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Add the water, a little at a time, working the mixture until all the water is incorporated. Form the dough into a log about 12 inches long by 3 inches across and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Remove the dough from the refrigerator, divide the log into 4 equal sections about 3 inches long, and carefully roll each out between sheets of plastic wrap to an 8-inch circle, about ¼-inch thick. This recipe yields 4 rounds of dough.
