Today I spent the morning with my Mother in Law going over recipes. She had wanted to have finished making these for me before I arrived. Fortunately, she was late in getting up and didn’t get them done. So I got to watch the whole process! These are Have Maantjes, half moons. This is a larger size, normally she says they make them about a third of this size. She tells me that when she was little, it was her job to make the pretty braided edge. After trying it, I can see why. One would need tiny fingers to be able to make a fine braided edge on those of the smaller, hors d’oeuvre size. I had great fun talking about the Indonesia of her childhood, the fried breadfruit that the servants would make, (and she would sneak). It was a pleasure to watch her work. Anna is now nearly 80. She learned to cook when she was 5 (and boy is there a story there, too) . The experience shows.  Give this recipe a try, you can use the Empanada wrappers like we did to make it easier on yourself! The filling consists of shredded cooked chicken, celery, carrots, peas, bean threads, garlic, turmeric, salt, and coriander. Add about a quarter slice of a hard-boiled egg to a full tablespoon or so of filling to the wrapper, fold, and fry! Mmmm.
