Method

Preparation

1

Make the Dough

In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the egg and cold water until the dough forms. Knead briefly, then wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2

Prepare the Filling

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until translucent. Add your choice of filling (ground beef, shredded chicken, diced ham, or cheese) along with cumin and black pepper. Cook until well combined and heated through. Let cool.

3

Assemble Empanadas

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into circles. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle. Fold over and crimp the edges to seal.

4

Bake

Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with an egg wash (beaten egg). Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
