Knead a dough with the flour, butter, and water.
Rest the dough for 20 minutes, so the edges do not crack while rolling.
Saute the ground beef, onion, and pepper for 10 minutes, then cool the filling.
Cut the dough into rounds, fill them, and press the edges closed.
Brush the tops with egg and bake at 190°C for 24 minutes.
Rest the empanadas on a rack for 5 minutes, so the bottoms do not become damp.
💡 Tip: Cool the filling before putting it into the dough, because hot filling softens the pastry.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with spicy tomato sauce.
