Steps:
- In medium bowl, stir together flour and salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through mixture in opposite directions), until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle with ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry leaves side of bowl. Form dough into 2 disks; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Heat oven to 450°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix filling ingredients.
- On well-floured surface, roll out dough disks until 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 4-inch rounds. Reroll scraps; cut out enough dough to make 12 rounds. For each empanada, spoon about 2 tablespoons filling onto center of dough round. Moisten edge with water; fold dough over to form crescent shape. Press edge with fork to seal. Brush top lightly with milk. Place on cookie sheet.
- Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
- Meanwhile, in blender or food processor, place sauce ingredients. Cover; blend or process until thoroughly mixed. Spoon into serving bowl. Cover; refrigerate until serving. Serve sauce with warm empanadas.
