1
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the egg and cold water until a dough forms. Knead gently for a few minutes, then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2
Prepare the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic, cooking until softened. Stir in olives, hard-boiled eggs, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes and set aside to cool.
3
Assemble the Empanadas
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter or glass. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over and crimp the edges to seal.
4
Bake
Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
