I make empanadas frequently. Here’s a twist for you on the crust. Replace a 1/3 cup of the flour with Maza flour (for tortillas). The pastry still comes out very flaky but that extra flavor of the corn is excellent in the empanada.

You're the Sister Sledge of crimping the edge! Boy, I sure have missed Chef John's videos, not that I have been anywhere. Thanks, chef.

These were soooooo goooood!!! I made them this morning and they were a big hit! I was nervous about making pie dough because I'm not very good at it. This dough was so easy to roll out and was gorgeously flaky. Thanks once again for a delicious and approachable recipe Chef!

After I ate a full meal and had desert, I watched this video and my mouth was still watering. I usually can't even think about food after eating. I absolutely have to make these. Perfecto, Chef John!🤤

Nice rendition of another version of the Wisconsin/ Up Michigan Pasty! It’s a staple up here,just a new twist with TexMex filling! C’mon up to the North Woods Chef John! We will have blast and cook something amazing!

Yes I'm kind of addicted to Chef John. Sure the recipes are great, I've made some, but what really has me hooked is how you speak, the little upwards intonation at the end of every sentence, which makes you wonder is it a statement or a question, that has me hooked. Sometimes, after a stressing day, i watch one of your videos just to relax. We also learned how to speak just like you, when we want to kind of not make a certain point not certain. Thanks Chef John! 😀🥰 Great empanadas BTW

Great tip about flouring hands when grating butter Chef John! Empanadas yum😋!

Very sus. I have been looking for a good chicken empanada recipe since last week. Now you come out with this. STOP STALKING ME! 🤤

These are great. As usual, I made changes. I used Yvette’s simple dough from Skillshare and it had a little cinnamon in it. OMG! I stewed the chicken in bouillon the day before and let it set. There was no currants to be found so I had to settle for raisins. I was surprised at how well raisins worked and think I’ll stick to that. I added smoked paprika and garlic powder too (in addition to the fresh garlic.) I think that was it. Having the pastry made in advance and individually wrapped is providing me with 4 to 5 deliciously fresh and easy to make meals I am absolutely loving. Oh and I did add some of my garden provided dried pepper flake mix (Serrano, Hungarian, red cayenne, jalapeño and poblanos that knocks the socks off.) I’m really loving this. Thank you Chef John.

Made these tonight for family...big hit! Thank you!

The great ones make it look so easy.

In Argentina, Spain and Cuba they are baked or fried. They are delicious. Thank you for another excellent episode.

They have them in the Philippines, they use a slightly sweet pastry. As you probably know the Mexicans adapted the recipe from the Cornish miners who went to Mexico to work the mines there. The Philippines was administered from Acapulco and epinada is popular street food in the Philippines.

In Malaysia we have epok-epok also known as karipap (curry puff) which is smaller and similar in shape filled with either curried meat, potato, even egg or sardine and deepfried. It's a very well known snack eaten any time of the day. Hope you'll give that a try.

I love your subtle humor, I lost it at "Contrary to popular belief Crimpin' is easy"

we used your dough for a fish version and it was brilliant! flakey crust!

The filling looks great. Me, being deficient in the art of dough making, goes the easy route. Pillsbury pie dough: roll out 1 and press it down to make it a little larger, then fork it around the center. Spread your filling to about 1/2" from the edges. Cover with the other dough, then crimp or pinch the edges tight, fork a little and egg wash. 35-40 mins later on a sheet pan, and Boom! A giant empanada.
