Making homemade empanada dough is not as hard as you might think, especially if you have a food processor. And even if you don’t have one, it is still pretty easy to make by hand because the dough doesn’t need be overworked, and requires minimal kneading. Empanadas, also known as turnovers or hand pies, are one of my favorite foods. They’re so versatile and can be made with an infinite number of delicious fillings – you can be as creative as you want with empanada fillings. Empanadas are also the perfect way to use leftovers, especially when a) you don’t enough for a full meal of leftovers and b) you want something different. Ingredients 3 cups all-purpose flour ¼ to 1/2 teaspoon salt 6 oz unsalted butter (1 stick of butter = 4 oz) 1 egg 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of water or milk adjust
