    This tutorial on the crust is the best!!! I really fell for Empanadas at a sea food restaurant in Puebla, MX the crust was so flakey and the fish was probably like escabeche fish so went in raw but came out flakey and cooked YUMMY!! anyways Now that I know how to make the crust I will try different fillings! Gracias!!!
