Preparation:

In a mixing bowl, mix together flour, olive oil and lard and add water to form a paste. Place on floured cutting board and form into a ball. Let rest 20 minutes, covered in plastic. Roll out dough on floured work surface to 1/16-inch thick. Cut into twelve 4-inch squares. Lay one piece of jamon over each one. In a mixing bowl, stir together tomatoes, garlic, scallions and capers and then place one heaping tablespoon over each slice of jamon. Fold each piece of dough over to form an envelope and seal by pressing dough together with fingers. Heat the 3 cups of oil in a 12- to 14-inch sauté pan over medium heat. Cook empanadillas four at a time until light golden brown and serve at once. Source: MEDITERRANEAN MARIO with Mario Batali From the TV FOOD NETWORK - (Show # ME-1B05)
