Ingredients:
For the dough
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup fresh milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
For the filling
- 1 cup coconut, shredded
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1-2 pcs pandan leaves
Procedures:
- To make the dough, sift the flour into a mixing bowl. Add baking soda, salt, fresh milk, egg, and butter. Mix well.
- After mixing, knead the mixture with your clean hands. Form the dough into a bun.
- With the dough inside, cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Get a portion of the dough then form it to a round shape. (Tip: Spread some flour on your working area to avoid sticking.)
- Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough and make it thinner.
- With a dough cutter, make circles (about 4” diameter). Alternatively, you can use the rim of a small bowl and knife to trace and cut circles from the dough.
- Remove and add the excess to the remaining dough to make another batch.
- To make the filling, put the shredded coconut on a pan over medium heat. Add evaporated milk and sugar. Stir well.
- Simmer until it boils and the liquid is reduced.
- Add pandan leaves. Stir then remove from heat.
- Put 1 tbsp of filling at the center of the dough. Wrap by folding the dough. Seal by twisting the edges then press with a fork. Repeat this step until all ingredients are consumed.
- Deep-fry the empanada until golden brown.
- Remove from heat. Serve and enjoy your fried buko empanada!
