TIPS
• Place the empanadas on a wire rack to cool down for a few minutes. Do not
pile them on top of one another after cooking, otherwise they will soften.
• Do not overll the empanadas because it will cause breakage and spills.
• Make sure to press down the edges rmly as instructed, so the lling
does not spill while baking.
• Make sure the lling is chilled and not runny (watery) before placing in
the center of the dough. Do not use hot or raw llings.
• The best llings are high quality cooked meats, shredded cheeses, and/
or cooked vegetables.
If using white corn our dough:
• If too soft and hard to manage, place more our and knead until it is
easy to expand and to make a small ball.
• When making the dough you can add a tablespoon of grated parmesan
cheese for added avor.
If using a pre-cut empanada dough:
• If frozen, make sure you let it defrost before using.
