TIPS
•
Place the empanadas on a wire rack to cool down for a few minutes. Do not
pile them on top of one another after cooking, otherwise they will soften.
•
Do not overfill the empanadas because it will cause breakage and spills.
•
Make sure to press down the edges firmly as instructed, so the filling
does not spill while baking.
•
Make sure the filling is chilled and not runny (watery) before placing in
the center of the dough. Do not use hot or warm fillings.
•
The best fillings are high quality cooked meats, shredded cheeses, and/
or cooked vegetables.
If using white corn flour dough:
•
If too soft and hard to manage, place more flour and knead until it is
easy to expand and to make a small ball.
•
When making the dough you can add a tablespoon of grated parmesan
cheese for added flavor.
If using a pre-cut empanada dough:
•
If frozen, make sure you let it defrost before using.
•
The recipe servings are subject to the quality of the ingredients, the
cooking conditions, and the amount of dough used per arepa/empa-
nada among other variables. Please note that the serving size varies per
recipe.
