Easy Beef Empanadas
Flaky pastry parcels filled with cumin-spiced beef and melted cheese — crimping the edges tightly is what keeps the filling sealed in while they bake to a deep golden brown.
Ingredients
Instructions
Brown the ground beef with onion and cumin over medium-high heat until fully cooked and any liquid has evaporated.
Let the beef mixture cool slightly before filling.
Fill the dough discs with the beef and cheese, fold into half-moons, and crimp the edges tightly, a tight crimp is what keeps the filling sealed in as they bake.
Brush with egg wash and bake at 200C for 20-25 minutes until deep golden brown all over.
