I am alone right now my husband is deployed, but I just got done making a batch of 24..I can't eat those all in one day. I shared some with my neighbor, but I was wondering could you reheat in the oven again? Do they taste okay afterwards...sorry I am new to cooking, but these came out so good :) I am proud. thank you for sharing your recipes! :) <em>Hi Elvira - You can set your open to Warm (or 200F) and let them warm-up, or you can just microwave them for 10-15 seconds. The oven re-heating is the better way (so they don't get soggy), but the microwave is the "I'm starving and can't wait" quick option. They taste great re-heated.</em> Have you ever had to reheat leftover empanadas?

Well thank you so much hopefully you can answer me soon so I can make them I am so excited :D Last question when I do the egg wash is it just the egg, or just the yolk, or do I add water to the egg???? Sorry for so many questions .... Thank you and hopefully my empanadas look & taste like yours, I am super nervous bc I have never made these before :/ <em>Hi Mya - To answer your questions, I mean manteca de chancho by lard. You can use butter if you don't want to use lard. For the egg wash, I usually mix the yolk with 1 tablespoon of water. </em> Hi, I am so excited to try this recipe tomorrow, I actually grew up with a lady from Argentina and she always made us empanadas, sadly she moved away and I never got the chance to ask her for her recipe, one question I have is when you say lard what do you consider lard, I know we have pork lard but also here we have Crisco which is shortening, I really didn’t know what you meant that’s why I wanted to know, I just never knew if I could use lard we call (manteca) in a beef dish ….
