This is a baked dough and is very soft when raw. I think it would just dissolve! Look for one meant to be fried but I’m not sure that would work. If you do use an empanada dough skip the baking powder. Here is the kreplach dough I use when I’m not using wanton wrappers jweekly.com/2015/08/21/c...

A former Trump official wants to build a massive data center in a remote corner of Greenland. Will it work? Construction is yet to begin on the facility, but it's aiming to hit a capacity of 1.5 gigawatts by the end of 2028.

Don’t believe Trump’s absurd lies that the U.S. needs to own Greenland for “national security” reasons.

The real reason is to enrich his donors and allies.

Chefs cook up protest against reversal of salmon ban Economic realities mean a ban on net pens in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, may soon be repealed

I’m in Tierra Del Fuego right now. Locals are protesting suggested revisions to the law that keeps these farms out of their waters. Environment not economics should be driving this discussion. www.fishfarmingexpert.com/agustin-coto...
