Assemble Empanadas
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter or a glass. Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and crimp the edges to seal. Place on a baking sheet.
