Empanada Pastry¶
 Serves |
 Total Time |
|---|---|
| 12-15 | 1 hour 15 minutes |
Ingredients¶
3 cups all-purpose flour- 0.25-0.5 tsp salt
6 oz butter
1 egg
0.25-0.5 cup water or milk
Cookware¶
- 1 food processor
Instructions¶
Step 1¶
Mix the all-purpose flour and salt in a food processor.
Step 2¶
Add the butter and pulse.
Step 3¶
Add the egg and the water or milk (in small increments) and continue pulsing until a clumpy dough forms.
Step 4¶
To make the empanada dough by hand, follow the same instruction but use your hands to mix the ingredients together.
Step 5¶
Split the dough into 2 large ball, flatten slightly into the shape of disks. The dough can be used immediately or refrigerated until ready to use (1-2 days max).
Step 6¶
Roll out the dough into a thin sheet and cut out round disc shapes for empanadas (use round molds or a small plate). You can also make small individual balls with the dough and roll out each individual ball to a round shape (doesn’t need to be perfectly round) – if you have a tortilla press you can use it to flatten the dough balls.
Step 7¶
Use immediately, or store in the refrigerator/freezer to use later.
