Empanada Dough and Filling
Method
Preparation and Assembly
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out circles.
Fill the Empanadas
Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
Bake the Empanadas
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
