Prepare the Dough

Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Form the Empanadas
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles using a 4-5 inch cookie cutter. Place a tablespoon of each filling in the center of the circles, fold over, and crimp the edges to seal.

Bake the Empanadas
Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with egg yolk for a golden finish. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
