Roll the dough out between 2 pieces of parchment paper, to about ¼ cm thick.

Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut 10 circles out of the dough and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

Place a spoonful of meat on top of each circle.

Fold the dough over and enclose the meat by pinching the edges and forming the dough into a half circle. With a fork crimp the edges to ensure the meat is not going to leak out.

    Add green olives and boiled egg to filling for authentic Argentina empanadas!

    1. GB Hernandez says:

      That sounds delicious! we will def make some Argentina empanadas next time

  2. PATRICIA MORRISON says:

    Your 1/4 inch thick directions for the dough…is slightly off. There is no way you can make 10 at 1/4 inch thick. Maybe you can make 3. The recipe is not accurate!!

    1. Donald Robinson says:

      What diameter are the circles?

    2. Aimee Aristotelous says:

      Hi Donald–about three inches!

  3. Marco says:

    How many calories are in these?
