EMPANADA Recipe Video | Easy Flaky Empandas | How to make Empanadas

today I'm making ground beef and bananas and in order to get the best flavor you have to have a delicious dough so don't get discouraged I'm going to show you the steps to get a perfect flaky dough to fill and fold your imp bananas and your belly into your bowl you want to add four cups of all-purpose flour one teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of sugar and then you're going to incorporate half a cup of butter and half a cup of shortening into the flour until it's well combined and I start off by pressing like this making that butter even softer and once you soften the butter into your flour you want to start giving it more of a squeeze to fully get all that butter and that fat into your flour this should take you about 4 minutes and if you're wondering how do you know when it's well incorporated into your flour I take a big pile and I press it together kind of like I'm smearing with my hand and if it's smooth and you don't see any butter or shortening then we're ready to continue to our next step I have a cup of cold water and I'm going to start adding it gradually to our flour until everything is well combined and once you start combining you already can see how you're going to have a super flaky dough Ooh So Delicious okay I'm going to turn this over on my counter so that I can knad it properly and combining your dough on your counter should take you about 4 minutes to get it nice and smooth and have it look just like this next you want to place your dough in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes while we allow our dough to rest in the refrigerator we're going to get started on our filling so go ahead and place your pan on a medium heat and drizzle a little bit of oil next we're going to sauté our onions I'm using half of an onion and two green onions next you're going to add 1 and 1/2 lbs of ground beef one teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste break down your ground beef and continue on a medium heat until everything is fully cooked that should take you around 4 to 6 minutes once your ground beef is fully cooked you're going to add 4 oz of diced green chili I cut two medium potatoes into fours into small little pieces like this you're going to go ahead and add that into your pot along with the 1 and 1/2 cups of water that I've had my potato soaking in go ahead and give that a loving mix and you're going to continue to cook for another 12 minutes on a medium heat or until your potatoes are nice and soft and if you like cilantro you want to add a small bunch of cilantro give that a loving mix and now we're ready to start filling our empanadas okay and now we're ready to start rolling out our dough you're going to dust your counter with a little bit of flour press down your dough and start rolling as you can see it's a super easy and pliable dough to work with you're not going to have any problems at home making these in fananas you can just lift it with your hand dust your counter as needed so it doesn't stick too much and continue to roll and thin out your dough you want to use a round cookie cutter but I'm a fan of using bowls usually to be honest it's really going to be up to you then you want to start cutting your dough I'll dip it in my flour and then continue it's so satisfying yeah it is so much fun to make and then with this dough you want to knead it with your hands just like this combine it well you're going to wrap it up and place it in your refrigerator and then when you're done making this set you're going to continue with the remaining ones dust your counter and your dough and we're just going to roll it out a little bit more don't overdo it because if you do you're going to have problems with your filling pouring out and even with your folding you still want it to be a little thicker before you add your filling you want to wet the the edges of your dough more of a half moon type of thing this is going to help seal everything together then you're going to fill with about 2 to 3 tablespoons of your filling and I know the potatoes look a little big but they're nice and soft and let me tell you when you take a bite of these empanadas with that potato it's memorable and if you don't believe me I encourage you to make them at home so with my hands kind of like a burrito I like to help it and I'm going to be tucking it in as I fold over you you want to align it together just like that and you see with this hand I'm still trying to keep all that filling in now this corner you're going to bring it in to about right there and you're going to press it now this part you're going to fold it in and I like to use this part of my thumbs especially because I have nails I know a lot of my ladies do too in a press bring it in in with your nail and you're just going to continue the closer they are the more cute little braids you get fold and press fold and press and this is why when you're rolling it out you don't want to stretch it cuz you want to have enough dough here to fold and press and right when you start you're going to think nothing's happening or right at the end you're going to see that it does this little Edge nobody ever knows what to do with it so just give it another fold and just let it be I'm going to give you the best tip to folding perfect empanadas it's going to be best that you fill your Empanada seal it set it to the side until you're done with all of them don't come and fold them because it's just going to end up a little bit too soft once they've been sitting there for at least 5 minutes it's going to be easier for you to start folding them in this bowl I have one egg with half a tablespoon of water and you just want to mix it really well and then you're going to caress your empanadas with it make sure to coat it well so that it's nice and shiny when it comes out of the oven go ahead and place your impalas in a preheated oven at 425° for 10 minutes after 10 minutes you're going to lower your temperature to 350° and you're going to continue to bake for 30 to 35 minutes and there you have it a beautiful and delicious Empanada perfect for you and your loved ones I'm going to need somebody very special to say uh as always cloud and I are wishing you the best we absolutely adore you and let us know in the comments if you prefer a baked or a fried and Panella and on that one we'll see you guys tomorrow bye OS
