Here's what my sister in law does.

Empanada

Dough

5 yolks or 4 yolks and 1 whole egg
1 cup butter, melted
2 cups sugar
8-10 cups all purpose flour

Put sugar in a bowl, mix in melted butter, then mix in eggs. Add
broth, mix well. Add flour little by little, mixing well. When the
dough is thick, use your hand to mix. Knead, then roll out the dough
and divide into four parts. Each part will make 25 or more empanadas.


Filling

2 1/2 pounds ground pork or 2 lbs ground pork and 1/2 ground chicken
10 oz frozen peas
1/2 cup raisins
1 small can pimiento, diced
3 or 4 medium potatoes, cooked and cut into small dice
1 onion diced
