What You’ll Need:
For the Dough:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 egg
- 5-6 tablespoons cold water
For the Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder together.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and cold water together. Gradually add this to the flour mixture until it forms a dough.
- Knead lightly, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the onion and garlic until translucent.
- Add the ground beef, cooking until well browned. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and mix in the shredded cheese.
Step 3: Assemble the Empanadas
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼-inch thick. Cut into circles using a bowl or cookie cutter (about 4-5 inches in diameter).
- Place a tablespoon of the beef filling in the center of each circle.
- Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and crimp the edges to seal.
Step 4: Bake
- Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush each with a beaten egg for that golden finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Enjoy!
