Say no to crack!
Empanadas, while utterly delicious, are a bit of a pain to make. Seasoned cooks can probably crank them out with little trouble. I am not, however, a particularly seasoned cook is concerned. Most dishes are so time-consuming and extensive, that people don’t make them often. The empanada dough is not always easy to work with. The main ingredients are water and flour. If you don’t work quickly, the dough will dry out and start to crack. Cracked empanada dough means that your empanadas will also have cracks in them, which means oil seeping into your filling in the fryer and drying out your empanada. Or, worse, causing an explosion. There are still oil stains on our kitchen ceiling because of that. We definitely don’t want that.
Nice, golden, and crunchy! Just the way an empanada should be!
What did we do differently? I thought you’d never ask! For those of you that would like to try this on your own, here are a few tricks that We employed this time around.
We made only half of the usual amount of dough at a time. This adds more time, since you have to make dough more often, but it definitely helps if you can’t crank them out at a good speed (which, I cannot).
Instead of forming the dough into balls beforehand, I left the dough in the mixing bowl and formed one ball at a time as I was assembling them. Having the dough together in one lump helped it retain more moisture and not dry out as quickly.
Before sealing the edge of the empanada, I placed the plastic ziploc bag over the empanada, and then sealed it. It feels like it made a tighter seal this way.
Handle the dough as little as possible. The more we handled each empanada, the quicker they seemed to dry out and start to crack.
Do not overfill your empanadas. Trying to close your dough over a too-large mound of filling is just asking for it. We got a little too ambitious with a few of them. We learned, though.
There you have it! It’s a pain to make but ... you can hit us up boy Fb/insta page a day ahead to enjoy D’empanadas...
