I tried your recipe last night, my first time to make empanada actually and it’s a success. Empanadas are done when they appear light brown and shiny. I made this twice yesterday and accidentally put an egg yolk in the dough(I was making another recipe that requires it)…I was afraid the texture would change but it didn’t. I think it’s missing egg as a binder (which I’ve tried and liked in other empanada recipe I made).The filling was wonderful. The second step is assuming that you already made your crust and the steps are under the crust instructions. Thank you for posting this recipe! One thing I want to find out rather than frying surely they can be baked in oven.

It might have an impact on texture as it makes the dough more compact.

If so, do I still glaze them with the egg wash or would I wait until just before I bake them?Yes, you can easily freeze these for later baking.

I usually don’t thaw them and just bake them straight from the freezer.I love these golden beef empanada.

not bad for my first try, I think.. It actually turns out very flaky when baked chilled. Stop at Step 5 and arrange them in a container layered with parchment paper so they do not stick together and it would be easier to handle later on.Thank you Beb!
