1
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the egg and ice water until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
2
Prepare the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onion, garlic, and bell pepper until soft. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in olives, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool.
3
Assemble the Empanadas
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into circles. Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle. Fold over and crimp the edges with a fork. Brush tops with beaten egg.
4
Bake
Arrange empanadas on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
