Easy recipe with step-by-step photos and video for homemade empanada dough.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ to 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 oz unsalted butter ((1 stick of butter = 4 oz))
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of water or milk (adjust as needed to obtain a soft and smooth dough)

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix the flour and salt in a food processor.

  2. 2

    To assemble the empanadas or turnovers, place a spoonful of the filling on the middle of each empanada disc. The amount of filling will vary based on the size of the empanada, but in general, it’s easier to seal an empanada that isn’t overstuffed. Also, the more you make empanadas, the easier it becomes to stuff them to the max and still seal them properly.
