Empanadas!!!

I'm on holidays, can you tell ? and what I'm doing, I'm baking!
Yesterday were chocolate chips and a christmas cake that I will later post the recipe ! and today is empanadas- Peruvian style!



For that you need:
500 gr flour
150 gr salted butter
1 cup of ice-cold water
1 tbsp white vinegar
1tbsp paprika

In a food processor mix all ingredients. Wrap dough in a plastic bag and put in the refrigerator for one hour minimum.

The fillings- get inspired!  I like empanadas filled wih beef.
So for this, you need :
500 gr ground beef
4 chop onions
75 gr olives cut in 4
3 boiled eggs cut in cubes
Olive oil

In a pan, cooked onions till they are transparent and then add ground beef. And species: salt, cumin, pepper.
When almost done, add olives , eggs. You can also add raisins.
Other recipes, include tomate sauce- just a couple of spoons and you let it cook a few minutes.
When cool , it's ready to fill your empanadas.

Take the dough out of the fridge and roll out. Cut circles.


Place on the middle of the circle the filling. Brush eggwhite or water on the borders to glue the border. Close the empanada and press with a fork or do little braids.
Place filled empanadas in baking sheet and brush with yolk the empanadas. Bake at 175°C till done, around 20 minutes.
