Ingredients
Method
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Add the cold, diced butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg and combine it with the cold water and vinegar.
- Gradually add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork until the dough starts to come together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it forms a smooth ball. Do not overwork the dough.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
- After chilling, roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and cut into circles for empanadas.
Notes
For best results, keep the dough cold while working with it. You can freeze unused dough for later use.
