Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel), cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 tablespoons low-fat milk
1-1/2 cups chopped fresh pineapple
1/3 cup pineapple or apricot preserves
2 tablespoons plain dry breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Confectioners sugar, for dusting (optional)
Preparation
1. Whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add cream cheese and oil and blend with your fingers until crumbly. Sprinkle mixture with milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir with a fork until the dough just comes together - the mixture will still be a little crumbly. Knead a few times in the bowl, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few more times until the dough comes together. Divide in half and shape into 2 discs. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days.
2. Combine pineapple and preserves in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until syrupy, 12-15 minutes. Mash pineapple into smaller chunks with a potato masher or fork. Remove from the heat; stir in breadcrumbs and cinnamon.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
4. On a well-floured surface, roll out one disc of dough at a time into a 1/8-inch-thick circle. Cut circles of dough using a 3-inch round cookie cutter. Repeat with the remaining dough, re-rolling scraps as necessary, to make 24 circles.
5. Place 1 teaspoon pineapple filling in the center of each circle. Fold in half, press edges together and crimp with a fork. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake the empanaditas until golden, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with confectioners’ sugar, if desired.
Serves 24.
