- Turn into a bowl and wrap tightly with plastic wrap then chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Flour a work surface then knead the dough for 1 minute. Roll out to a thickness of 2mm then cut into discs. At this stage you can freeze the discs for later use, or use right away for your favourite sweet or savoury empanadas.

I used this recipe for my first ever attempt at empanadas. Turned out great exactly as written! Kids loved them too. Thank you for sharing. - 03 Apr 2019 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I made recipe, but added 1 tsp. Baking powder. The dough turned out to be just a little bit more flaky, which I really liked. Other than that it's a great recipe. - 26 Feb 2019 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
