Method
Dough Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the egg yolk and cold water until the dough holds together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Filling Preparation
- 2
Cook the Filling
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sauté until softened (about 5 minutes). Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Stir in the ground beef, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in the chopped hard-boiled eggs and green olives. Set aside to cool.
Assembling Empanadas

Form Empanadas
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut circles using a round cutter or a glass (about 4-5 inches in diameter). Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape, and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Repeat until all dough and filling are used.
