Sweet Mini-Empanadas | Empanadilla with Cherry Filling | Pastries with Paola | Food & Wine

This week, executive pastry chef Paola Velez puts her own spin on the empanadilla AKA a mini-empanada—typically filled with a savory meat or cheese—by filling it with a sweet, gooey filling made with cherries. Paola tops off these already irresistible golden brown mini-empanadas with a quick and easy sugar drizzle made of powdered sugar, milk and pink food coloring for a whimsical touch. She also teaches us how to escape the sometimes inevitable frying oil nightmare of “frymageddon.” You might know James Beard Award finalist Paola Velez as the executive pastry chef at Compass Rose, La Bodega Bakery, and Maydān, or as the co-founder of Bakers Against Racism, but now you’ll know her as the host of “Pastries with Paola” for Food and Wine! Join Paola for a culinary adventure in this series celebrating her Dominican heritage—and her childhood in The Bronx!—as she puts her twist on classic desserts with delicious recipes like her Maria Cookies icebox cake, Lemony Sumac Pie with a mind-blowing Ritz Cracker Crust, Tres Leches Cornbread Cake, Guava and Cheese Budin De Pan, her incredible Chocolate Party Cake, and more. Paola is all about baking fun, easy and totally doable at home!
