Empanadas

Ingredients

• 500 g All purpose flour
• 200 g Butter
• 120 ml Water
• 1 tsp Salt
• 500 g Ground Beef
• 2 piece Onion
• 4 piece Egg
• 100 g Green Olives
• 1 piece Cumin
• 1 piece Paprika
• 1 piece Salt
• 1 piece Pepper

Steps

1. Make the Dough: Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Add butter, using your fingers to blend into a crumbly texture. Gradually add water, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Filling: Cook onions in the air fryer basket until translucent. Add ground beef, cooking until browned. Stir in spices, then remove from heat. Once cooled, mix in eggs and olives.
3. Assemble: Roll out the dough and cut into circles. Place a spoonful of filling in each, fold over, and seal the edges.
4. Cook: Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden.
5. Pro Tips:
6. For a flakier crust, incorporate a tablespoon of vinegar into the dough mixture. This helps prevent gluten formation.
7. Seal the edges of the empanadas with a fork to ensure they do not open during baking or air fry.
