  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, sugar, and salt. Mix until crumbly.

  2. 2

    Add Egg and Water

    Add the egg and cold water to the flour mixture, and knead until a smooth dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

    Prepare the Filling

    In a small bowl, mix together Nutella and peanut butter until well combined.

    Roll Out the Dough

    After chilling, roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick.

  5. 5

    Cut and Fill Empanadas

    Use a round cutter to cut out circles from the dough. Place a tablespoon of the Nutella-peanut butter mixture in the center of each circle. Fold over and press the edges to seal.
