Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cubed butter and mix until crumbly. In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolk with cold water. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Knead for a few minutes, then wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Fillings
While the dough chills, prepare your fillings. Cook ground beef with onions and bell peppers until browned. Mix in black olives, cheese, or any other desired fillings. Season to taste with salsa, salt, and pepper.

Roll and Fill the Dough
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles (about 4-5 inches in diameter). Place a tablespoon of filling on one half of each circle, fold over, and seal the edges with a fork.

Bake the Empanadas
Place the empanadas on a lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with egg wash (beaten egg with a splash of water). Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
