Inedible dough, tastes like shortening.

these were flaky and would make an excellent pie crust which is what this tasted like. I live in Ecuador and these are not anything close to our empanadas!

I tried this recipe prior to returning to college for a meal I could make once and last for a few days. It wasn't the best empanada I ever had, but they weren't half bad. I made the meat filling, and I would suggest that you make the dough after the tomato mixture is simmering. My only note is to be aware of the size you cut your dough. The larger they are, the more meat they carry and less doughy they are. The size makes the difference between a snack and a meal. None the less, they are quite filling!

The pastry was EXCELLENT! Loved it. I made up my own filling though. Still, excellent.

I will not be making these again.. I made the dough recipe to the T and it reminded my fiance and I too much of pie crust. I figured baking them would be healthier than frying them but next time I'll take in the extra calories and fry them like empanadas should be.

Not impressed. I would repeat this only for a sweet filling, but would look for another one before.

This crust was delicious. I made my own filling, but crust...divine.

I followed this recipe to the T and it tasted good but the empanada dough was not what I expected to me it felt more like a cookie dough or a pie crust, being Latin I was very disappointed
