3-Ingredients Homemade Empanada Dough

Try this classic recipe for homemade empanadas with just three ingredients, you and your family will love it!

Receta en Español

For many of us making empanada dough from scratch can be a bit intimidating, and let’s be honest, it does take some time, but it’s so worthy! besides, these days are perfect to put those skills into practice since we have extra time thanks to the quarantine.

Empanadas or empanadillas are baked or fried turnovers (made from wheat or corn flour), which are usually filled with meat, cheese, vegetables, and even sweet ingredients such as apple or guava paste.

Today I will show you my easy version for empanada dough.

Some recipes call for butter and even eggs, mine only requires three ingredients: flour, salt, and oil.

Now for this recipe, the trick to get the perfect dough is to add hot water. The hot water makes the process easier and you will have a more elastic dough at the end.

Here is the recipe:

  • knead the dough with your hands for a few minutes and form a ball.
