Como fazer Empanada De Queso Cheese Pastries

Whisk together 2 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon baking powder in a large bowl.
Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled, cubed butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat 2 large egg yolks and whisk in 1/2 cup milk.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, if needed to bring the dough together.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough as thinly as possible.
Using a 3-4 inch round cookie cutter or glass, cut out 48 circles.
Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture onto half of the circles.
Top with the remaining circles, moisten the edges with water, and firmly press to seal.
Arrange the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
