Empanadas (Argentina)
Serves 12
Ingredients
Method
500 g Flour
125 g Butter
2 Eggs
1 tsp Salt
200 ml Water
500 g Ground Beef
2 Onions, Chopped
2 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Cumin
2 Hard-Boiled Eggs, Chopped
12 Olives, Pitted
Mix the flour, butter, one egg, salt and water in a bowl to create the dough. Let rest for 1 hour.
In a pan, cook the onions until translucent. Add the beef, paprika, and cumin. Cook until browned.
Allow the beef mixture to cool, then mix in the chopped hard-boiled eggs and olives.
Divide the dough into 12 portions and roll out into circles.
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle and press the edges to seal.
Beat the remaining egg and brush over the top of the empanadas.
Bake at 200°C for 20 minutes, or until golden.
