How to make empanadas

One way to do it. The same ones the app hands you once you have decided.

Pastry, filling, crimped edge

75 minutes · serves 5 · Medium

What you need

  • 400g flour
  • 100g cold butter
  • 1 egg
  • 120ml cold water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 400g beef mince
  • 2 onions
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 boiled eggs
  • Olives

What you do

  1. 1Rub the butter into the flour, bring together with egg and cold water, and rest an hour in the fridge.
  2. 2Cook the filling and then cool it completely. Warm filling melts the pastry and they burst.
  3. 3Chop the boiled egg and olives through it — that salty bite is what makes it taste right.
  4. 4Cut discs, fill, wet the edge and fold. Crimp firmly, however you like.
  5. 5Egg wash, 200C, 20–25 minutes until deep gold.
