Empanadas
- Add the egg mixture and the flour mixture together
- Knead them until the dough forms the way you want it

- With some sort of mixer, beat the lard or shortening until it is light and fluffy. Then, beta in the dry and liquid ingredients, the finished dough should be a thick creamy paste.

How to tie the tamales
- For each tamale fold the long end of the husk so it slightly overlaps the dough. After that, roll the husk around the dough and filling.
