Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Add the chilled butter to the dry mixture and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually drizzle in the cold water, mixing gently with a fork.
- Form the mixture into a ball using your hands, being careful not to overwork the dough.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.
- Use a cookie cutter or glass to cut out circles from the dough, about 4-5 inches in diameter.
- Add your desired filling to one half of each circle, fold the dough over, and pinch the edges to seal.
Notes
These empanadas are best served warm, paired with a fresh salad or a dipping sauce.
