Cooking Tips

Do not add too much sugar when making sweet empanadas as it will make the dough harder to roll out.

01

To ensure a light and flaky pastry, it’s important to incorporate cold butter into your dough.

Fill each disc with your favorite filling, then brush the edges of each disc with some egg wash to help it stick together and again on top to give them a nice shine before baking them for 15 minutes at 375 degrees F until golden brown.
