Hawaiian Empanadas
- 4 cups pre-cooked cornflour

- 5 slices pineapple cut into cubes (you can also use canned pineapple)
- 2 cups of shredded cheese (mozzarella, swiss, any cheese that melts quickly)
- Salt to taste
- Oil for frying
- In a deep bowl, mix the cornflour with the water and salt to taste. If you use colorless cornflour, you can add some color or achiote.
- Knead the dough and with the help of a roller, spread the dough on a flat surface.
- You can use saran wrap to prevent sticking.
- Cut out circles, put cheese in the middle along with the ham and pineapple.
