Step-by-step
Using a different robot? Switch it here:
- Put the flour, butter, egg, salt and water in the mixing bowl and knead 3 min/dough mode.
- Let the dough rest, covered, 20 minutes.
- Mix the grated cheese with the chopped onion for the filling.
- Roll out the dough, cut discs, fill with cheese and seal the edges well with a fork.
- Fry the empanadas in hot oil until they puff up and turn golden.
- Drain on paper and sprinkle with sugar before serving.
Tips
- Seal them very well so the cheese doesn't leak out while frying.
- The sweet-and-salty contrast is traditional.
