What is Empanada?
[[Image:Tapa de empanadillitas.JPG|thumb|Empanadas from Spain]] An '''empanada''' is a type of stuffed [[pastry]] from [[Spain]], other Southern European countries, Latin American countries, and the [[Philippines]]. The name comes from the Spanish empanar (to bread, i.e., to coat with bread), and translates as 'breaded', that is, wrapped or coated in bread. They are made by folding dough over a filling, which may consist of meat, cheese, tomato, corn, or other ingredients, and then cooking the resulting turnover, either by baking or frying.
