Water

Egg

✓✓✓✓✓

Salt

Mix the flour and salt in a food processor, then add the butter and pulse until the butter has coated the flour mixture.

1

Add the egg first, then pour the milk in bit by bit and continue pulsing until a clumpy dough forms.

2

Remove the dough from the food processor and split the dough into 2 large balls. Flatten the balls into discs, then roll out the first disc using a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface until you have a thin sheet.

3

Cut out round disc shapes using a pastry cutter, round molds, or a small plate. The disks should be around 5-6 inches in diameter.

4

Roll out the second dough and make another batch of small discs.

5

Cover each empanada disk with plastic wrap and place them inside a container in the fridge or freezer.

Cooking Tips

When making homemade empanada dough, it is best to cover the discs immediately or fill them to prevent them from drying out and cracking.

01

To make this dough by hand, follow the same instructions but use your hands to mix the ingredients together.
