The dough was easy and when rolled thin, very nice. Eyed the liquid portion though, to get a nice looking smooth dough. Found that 350F too low for my liking, upped it to 425F and it worked out great! Filled with ham and cheese for a quick lunch. Way under 1.5hrs. Maybe half an hour from start to finish.

These were delicious, I made the savory ones with chicken and a mushroom sauce. It was my first time making pastry and i was impressed! The pastry came out like Jamaican patties. I used twice the dough ingredients and will use the rest to make pineapple empanadas tonight. Thanks for the wonderful recipe! Natasha

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.
