Steps:
- See Photo Galleries for images of all three instruction sets. Also the video at the beginning of the blog shows how to crimp the dough edges.
- Dough
- Cube two sticks of cold butter. The wrappers can be folded in half and saved for lightly greasing the baking sheets.
- In a small bowl, beat two eggs. Mix in the white vinegar and water.
- Put flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment, or food processor with metal blade. Pulse or mix a few times to distribute the salt.
- Add all the butter pieces and mix/pulse until crumbly and no pieces are bigger than pea-sized. This also can be done in a bowl by hand, with two butter knives or a pastry cutter.
- Slowly drizzle in the egg-vinegar-water mixture while running the mixer.
- As soon as the dough comes together, remove it from the bowl, knead it a few times on a lightly floured counter, and then divide it in two pieces.
- Shape the pieces into squares (about one inch thick) to make later cutting easier. Wrap the squares tightly and refrigerate them at least 30 minutes and up to two days.
- Filling
- Grind 1 pound of raw chicken (about 2 breasts) in a food processor. If you don't have a food processor, you can slightly freeze the chicken to make it easier to handle, and then chop it into small pieces with a sharp knife.
- Chop the onion and pepper(s).
- In a large fry pan, heat the oil, and then add the onion, pepper, and spices (not the salt). Saute, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Add the ground chicken, bread crumbs, and water. Lightly simmer for about 10 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Stir frequently and add more water to deglaze the pan if the mixture begins to stick to the pan.
- The filling should be wet but not watery. When you scrape some filling to the side, a puddle shouldn't form in the empty space, but if you press down on the mixture with a spoon, some liquid should creep over the edges of the spoon.
- Mix in a half teaspoon of salt, taste the filling, and add more as needed.
- Let the filling cool for about a half hour. You can transfer it to a bowl and refrigerate it to speed cooling. Also, you can make it a day ahead and refrigerate until you are ready to use it.
- Assembly
- On a flat clean workspace, set out a rolling pin, bench knife or large knife, two large lightly greased baking sheets, and extra flour for dusting.
- Flour your work surface and remove one of the dough squares from the refrigerator.
- Unwrap the dough and cut it into 12 squares (4x3).
- Smoosh the cubes into small round discs.
- Roll each disc into a circle about 4-5 inches in diameter and ~1/8 inch thick. Flour lightly, just to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin. The finished pieces can be layered in a staggered way.
- When you have finished all twelve, cover them with a slightly damp towel or a piece of plastic wrap to prevent them from drying while you do the next twelve.
- After all 24 circles are rolled out, begin preheating your oven to 375F, and remove the filling from the refrigerator.
- Assemble empanadas using your first batch of 12 dough circles first. I found it easiest to lay a dough circle in the palm of one hand, and put a dinner-spoonful of filling into the middle of the circle. Then I folded the dough in half and laid the empanada on the baking sheet. Resist the temptation to overstuff.
- Crimp the edges of the empanada with a fork, or using your two index fingers: one to anchor/limit the dough fold, and the other to fold the dough edges up and inward.
- When 12 empanadas are finished on the baking sheet, brush the top of them with a beaten egg, and put them in the preheated oven to bake for 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- While the first sheet is baking, assemble the second set of twelve empanadas and egg-wash them.
- You can put the second baking sheet in the oven while the first is still cooking. Just make sure to rotate and shift the tray(s) every 5 minutes or so.
- Let the empanadas cool about 10 minutes before eating.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for a few days.
- Freezing is best done with uncooked empanadas before the egg-wash. Freeze on a flat surface and then transfer to a plastic bag or sealed container.
SPICY CHICKEN EMPANADAS
Steps:
- For the empanada dough: Mix all empanada ingredients in a mixer. Let dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
- For the filling: Bake the chicken breast until fully cooked. Put breast meat in a food processor and pulse until chopped (you don't want very small pieces). Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil. Add onions, green and red bell peppers, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, red pepper, oregano and basil. Cook until onions are soft, about 10 minutes. Pour in chipotle sauce and stir. Finally add tomato sauce. Allow filling to cool.
- To form the empanadas, knead the dough. Roll the dough out by hand or with a commercial sheeter. Cut out circles of dough. Place a dough circle in an empanada mold if you have one, but it's not necessary; fill with chicken mixture. Wet the edges of the dough with your fingers. Close the mold to seal, or fold dough over filling and use the tines of a fork to seal the edges. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Use a pastry brush to paint empanadas with an even coat of egg wash.
- Preheat a convection oven to 450 degrees F, or regular oven to 400 degrees F. Place empanadas on greased baking sheets. Bake for 3 minutes in convection oven or 10 to 15 minutes in regular oven.
AUTHENTIC CHICKEN EMPANADAS (EMPANADAS DE POLLO)
My husband and I returned recently from a wonderful trip to Puerto Rico. While there we fell in love with "empanadas de pollo" (chicken pies), that we found at roadside stands along Route 3. Here is a version we came up with once we returned--delicious!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, jalapeno and cilantro, garlic powder, ground cumin, hot sauce and salt and pepper. Mix well. Unroll the pie dough onto a well-floured surface. Using a 5-inch circular cookie cutter, cut out as many circles as possible. Using a rolling-pin, roll out the scraps and continue to cut out circles until the dough runs out. We got 10 circles from 1 pie dough. Repeat the same with the other pie dough.Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the spicy chicken filling into middle of dough. Moisten edges with egg wash. Fold the dough in half over the filling, forming a half circle, then use the fingers to gently press and seal the edges. Use a fork to crimp the edges together. Brush each empanadas with the egg wash. Air fry the empanadas at 400 F for 10 minutes. Serve hot with Cilantro-Scallion Dipping Sauce.
CHICKEN EMPANADAS - COLOMBIA - EMPANADAS DE POLLO
Now it is time for a party! My middle son got married to a most wonderful girl and we are welcoming them home from their honeymoon with a small family get-together. As a family favorite, my empanadas will be the principal side dish, along with various and sundry goodies. Everything is ready, I have everything prepared, including the masa. But, alas, in my excitement, I did not realize that I had run out of ground beef! With no time to spare, it is time to improvise. "I'll make chicken empanadas!" I thought. With no previous experience in the matter, I just grabbed 6 chicken thighs, cooked them and pulled the meat apart. So, below you will find my improvisation which, if I say so humbly, turned out as good or better than my beef empanadas. I love when an "experiment" is a success!

Steps:
- The Chicken.
- - Place chicken thighs in a large pot with 8 cups of boiling water.
- - Add the celery, onion, garlic, Kosher salt and cumin.
- - Boil over medium heat for approximately 1 hour (or until chicken is cooked).
- - With a slotted spoon, carefully remove chicken from the pot, place it in a bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Allow it to cool until safe to handle.
- - Cover the pot and continue to cook the stock on low heat.
- - Once the chicken has cooled, remove the skin and the bones. Drop the bones and skin into the stock pot, cover and continue to cook. With your fingers, pull the chicken meat apart so it resembles shredded meat. Put into a bowl, cover and refrigerate.
- - Allow the chicken stock to boil on low heat for another hour. Using a sieve, separate the broth from all the rest of the ingredients and allow it to cool for about 30 minutes. Discard the stock ingredients.
- The Dough.
- - Mix all the dry ingredients together (corn meal, brown sugar, yuca starch and optional cumin) in a large bowl and begin to add the chicken broth until you have a smooth, humid, easy to work dough. I usually add two cups and work the dough with my hands. Then, I add the chicken stock 1/2 cup at a time until I get the consistency I need.
- - Cover the bowl and let the "masa" rest for about one hour in the refrigerator.
- The Filling.
- - In a frying pan, heat the butter, margarine or oil over medium heat and saute the onions and tomatoes. (Here you can add cumin to taste).
- - In a large bowl, combine the chicken, potatoes, chopped cilantro, garlic powder and pepper.
- - Add the sauteed onion-tomato mixture and stir until well blended. Check for salt and adjust spices to your liking.
- The Empanada.
- - Now, if you have a tortilla press, you're sitting pretty for the next step. If you don't have one, two pieces of 1" wood about 8" square will do just fine. Lacking that, anything flat and a counter top will work. Or, if you feel adventurous, you can use your own two little hands!
- - Roll the "masa" (dough) into little balls about 1" in diameter. Cover the bottom part of the tortilla press with a piece of plastic wrap. Place the masa ball on top of the plastic wrap. Cover with another piece of plastic and press it into a flat circle (depending on the size of the original masa ball, the flat circle will turn out to be about 3 to 4 inches in diameter). Remove the top piece of plastic. Now add about one rounded tablespoon of the filling to the middle of the circle leaving about 1/2" of space on the sides. Using the plastic, fold the circle in half and press the edges together so it forms a half-moon. While still in the plastic, press the edges firmly together between your thumb and middle finger so the empanada is sealed. I like to make them pretty so, after the empanada is sealed, I remove it from the plastic and use the tip of my finger to fold the edges at small intervals so that the empanada has a "scalloped" look to the edges.
- - Cook them in bunches but don't prepare too many at a time and let them sit while the others cook since this tends to dry out the masa too much. Also, as you are cooking, keep the bowl of masa covered with a humid towel to keep it from getting too dry.
- Cooking.
- - The traditional method, of course, is to fry the empanadas in a large, iron cauldron (approximately 50 years old), on top of a wood fire, outdoors, in about twenty pounds of pork lard that was used to fry the empanadas for the last month and a half.
- - However, tradition does not always mean that it is right. Much of the time tradition simply means "lack of technology and alternate methods.".
- - I use a deep-fat fryer filled with Canola or Peanut oil. For even healthier empanadas, they can be baked in the oven at 350 degrees F on a greased cookie sheet. Baking them, of course, takes longer and you will have to turn the empanadas once. Bake or fry until golden brown.
- - If you fry them (the best method because they turn out nice and crunchy), make sure you place the finished empanadas on a cookie sheet whose bottom you have lined with a thick layer of paper towels. This will allow the excess oil to drain.
- - The tradition in Colombia is to have an empanada in one hand and a wedge of lemon in the other. As you take a bite, you squeeze a few drops of lemon juice inside. A bowl of your favorite salsa and a teaspoon will also do the job quite well. This recipe should yield approximately 4 to 5 dozen empanadas.

- Make the dough: In a large bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add in the butter and egg yolks. Cut the butter into the flour until the dough has a grainy texture without large chunks of butter. Add in cold water, and mix. Place dough onto a clean kitchen surface and knead until the dough is smooth. Divide the dough into two. Cover with a kitchen towel and set aside.
- Make the filling: In a large frying pan over medium heat, add two tablespoons of oil, and fry potatoes until cooked. Transfer cooked potatoes to a bowl. Add more oil, and sauté garlic and onions. When onions are softened, lower heat to its lowest setting and add chicken. Season with a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, curry powder, MSG, black pepper, and green bell pepper. Let cook, without stirring, until chicken is cooked on one side. Stir until all the chicken is cooked through. Add evaporated milk, and stir for half a minute then turn off heat. Add remaining fish sauce. Season the filling to taste, and set aside to cool completely.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough ball into a rectangle shape until about 1/8-inch thick. Cut out nine 4 ½-inch circles with a cookie cutter or a large bowl. Pile the circles together, and set aside. Knead the leftover dough together, adding a drop of water as needed if too dry, and roll out again to cut out more circles. Repeat with the other dough ball.
- Once ready to fill, place around 2 tablespoons filling at the center of the dough circle, leaving at least 3/4-inch on all sides. Lightly wet the edges of the dough with water. With both hands under the dough, bring the edges together while pushing in the filling. Place the dough on the surface so that it can stand, edges up. Pinch the edges with your fingers and seal together. Tilt to one side and crimp edges with a fork. Repeat with all the remaining circles.
