Notes

Top Tips for Success:
  • The Perfect Dough: For that authentic "pastelito" crunch, I highly recommend using the Goya empanada discs specifically made for frying. If they are frozen, let them thaw completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes before rolling.
  • Thick Strawberry Filling: Ensure your strawberry compote has cooled down significantly before filling the dough. If it's too hot, it will melt the cream cheese mixture and make the pastelitos difficult to seal.
  • Sealing is Key: Use a fork to crimp the edges tightly. You can even dab a tiny bit of water around the rim of the disc to act as "glue" so they don't open while frying.
  • The Cinnamon Coating: Shake them in the cinnamon sugar while they are still hot! The heat helps the sugar stick to the golden crust for that perfect finish.
Make Ahead & Storage:
  • Storage: These are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes to bring back the crunch.
  • Freezing: You can assemble the pastelitos (before frying) and freeze them in a single layer. Once frozen, transfer to a bag. Fry them directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the cooking time.
