  I'm looking for a recipe from the My Great Recipes Packet. I'm not sure which packet 
  but the recipe is called Empanditas. I do know it is from the set that was printed in 
  Holland, and I think it's in the appetizer section. Can you help me?
    Sincerely,
     Kim

Hello Kim,

We have the U.S. set, not the Holland set, so I can't help that way. Below are a couple of empanaditas recipes from the web.

Phaed

  Empanditas

  4 boxes puff pastry sheets 

  Filling: 
  1/2 lb lean ground beef 
  1/2 cup chopped onion 
  3 Tbsp chopped green bell pepper 
  salt, pepper to taste 
  1 1/2 tsp garlic powder 
  3 Tbsp chili powder 
  1 Tbsp Worcestershire 
  1/2 cup tomato paste 
  Brown beef in skillet. 
  Add onion and bell pepper and cook till tender. 
  Add remaining ingredients and simmer 10 minutes longer. 
  Open sheets of puff pastry onto floured board, one at a time. Roll as thinly as possible. 
  Cut with round biscuit cutter. 
  Place a small spoonful of filling on round. Moisten edges with water, fold over and press with fork. 
  Bake on lightly sprayed cookie sheets 12-15 minutes at 350°. (Bottom should be golden brown.) 
  These may be frozen before baking. If so, allow 30 minutes thawing time, and cook about 5 minutes longer. 

  Makes approximately 5 1/2 dozen small meat pies.

Hello Delbert,

Sometimes it's not a good idea to clean coins. It can reduce their value.
