Ingredients 

Empanada Dough

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Unsalted butter chilled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ⅓ cup Cold water

Filling

  • 1 lb Ground beef
  • 1 small Onion finely chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • ½ cup Green olives sliced
  • ¼ cup Raisins
  • 1 Egg beaten, for egg wash

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water, a tablespoon at a time, until dough forms. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. In a skillet, cook beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Drain. Stir in cumin, paprika, olives, and raisins. Set aside.
  4. On a floured surface, roll dough to ⅛-inch thickness. Cut with a 4-inch round cutter. Place a tablespoon of filling on each circle. Fold dough over filling; press edges with a fork to seal. Place on a baking sheet.
  5. Brush with egg wash. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
