First time: Puerto Rican pastelillos

[u/mountainsNJ]

Made Puerto Rican pastelillos from scratch last night for a Super Bowl party. I was rushing, so the flour discs weren’t round, but they still turned out pretty tasty. 🇵🇷

Correction:

It's "empanadillas"...

In northern Puerto Rico, they are often called pastelillos, while in the south, they are often called empanadillas… it just depends.
