Yesss!!! That’s exactly what I like to hear. Thank you for trying the recipe 💙

I love the both. But I combine coconut oil and butter for my dough. It’s more short but I love it.

Omg I love empanadas I’ve always wished to make them thanks for the recipe!! 👍🏻👍🏻😌🔔

Thanks!

I will try that two version

Zee! Wow! Thank you! I hate the pre made ones at the supermarket cause they add so much unnecessary ingredients to them.

I love your way! Im same! I like to roll it thin Im subscribing to you👍i use a large tomato sauce can it makes perfect discs 👍

I made this tonight! Made the oil version, 1.4 oz dough rolled to 5-inch disk. Fried, excellent. Tomorrow I'll try it baked. Next time I'll make butter version. Thank you for this great recipe. Better, tastier than La Saltena brand.

Hi chef.. i tried the dough with oil version. And it was so good.. it's crispy,

@ chef zee , can you do a video on how you make your filling for the empanada. Both chicken and beef.... I love both and would like to see/know the recipes (seasonings etc) that you would use

She just uploaded a chicken filling video. I would do the picadillo filling for meat :) super delish! :D

I want to make chicken empanadas tomorrow!

She makes we want to go back to Dominica.

Hi! I want to make the dough and store the discs for later use. Do you know where can I get something to separate them so they wont stick together when stacked and stored away? Like a plastic film sheets to put in between or something? Thank you!

Thanks for your recipe I really appreciate it 🥰

Thanks!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Where did you get that marble slab?

How long do you bake them and what temperature?

Hi Chef Zee! I am new at making Empanadas so your video is super helpful! When it comes to Baking Powder and salt, are you referring to teaspoons or Tablespoons?

I know this is a recipe that was done awhile back. But I see the yuca empanada shells in the market. Quick suggestion would be to do a baking empanada recipe and include the yuca shells.

Ok so do you ball up and re roll out the scraps to create more? If so should I let it rest for an hour before rolling out again? On a side note I love your videos!!!! Thank you for all of the hard work you put into them!

I sure do but you can just roll them out without letting it rest again. I also sometimes fry the scraps plain and have them with coffee and cheese in the morning

Can you make these empanadas and cook in the air fryer?

Once assembled, how long do we bake them n at what temp? Ty.

At what temp do you bake them?

Hello and thank you for the recipe. I wanted to know if you let the dough rest in the fridge or outside the fridge?

yes it’s easier to follow... do you put sugar as well?

Making this for New Years 😍😍

can the all purpose flour be Gluten free all purpose flour?

how long we can keep the empanada wrapper in the freezer?

I owe all my cooking and baking skills to my grandmother. She always preached mixing by hand in many recipes. I try to instill that logic with my kids but they are squeemish. Might be a dying art.

if something is good humans will like it. I enjoy mashing avocado and tomatoes in my molcajete. i felt drawn to it.

I’m excited to try your recipe. Every time I try, no matter the recipe, my dough keeps shrinking and I can never get it as thin as I want. Do you know what causes that problem?

So much better than the frozen

Hi I made the dough and made some empanadas I have quite a bit of disc can I freeze the discs after shaping them?

hi! what i want is a little bit sweet dough. can i put sugar on it? how many tablespoon?

Love your recipes! Can these be baked instead of fried?

Yes

I will be 100% honest... this is the BEST recipe so far online. It is still not a 10/10 though... its missing that "flaky" "bread" "tear/chew". The flavor is amazing though 10/10 ! Any tips on how to get the texture that I want? 240g All purpose Flour 56g Salted Butter 1/2 tsp Salt (Since I used salted butter AND kosher salt I used half)

Ok, I made them AGAIN, this time I cut everything in half (to make a smaller batch) AND it was AMAZING. I think I found the trick? I used Unsalted butter! 120g APF 2 TBSP Unsalted Butter (on the sticks of butter it tells you how much is 1 tbsp) 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt 1/8 cup + a little more of water Scrambled an egg and used half (Saved the other half) 1/4 tsp baking powder It was PERFECTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. Just like the Cuchifritos. I'm still missing a bit on the texture department BUT THE FLAVOR IS 10/10 !!!!

Chef Zee OmG i followed your tips in making empanada dough using cold butter,egg and water and the results were amazing it was so flaky and crunchy it really reminds me of pastry dough.. Although my folding skills is a bit poor but everyone liked my empanada I'm definitely doing it again..

Sounds great! I'm so happy that you liked. Thank you so much for trying it. I love that they're more of a pastry dough. It really allows your filling and the empanada as a whole to shine :)

Hi! I have a question about doubling/tripling etc- the recipe. If doubling the recipe, can I combine all of it into one roll? Or is it better to roll them separately!

can you use vegetable oil instead of canola

Hi chef, once I took out the frozen dough from the freezer, how do I thaw it as a result of warming it? And how long will it stay in the fridge and freezer? Thanks so much Chef

Can i use olive oil for the dough?

Do i need to put the dough on the freezer ?

Can you make this in a mixer?

Do you let the dough rest in the fridge or room temperature??

How many discs can you make from there?

Hello! Can I substitute all purpose flour with gluten free flour? Thank you! ❤️

How long to store in the ref the after u prepare it and how long in the freezer?

Around how many do you get out of a dough?

Question, can you make the empanada dough with another oil instead of canola? Like would olive oil or avocado oil work?

Hey chef, hope all is well. My question is, when storing in fridge how long will dough be good for? Thank you. We appreciate you!

@Chefzeecooks

Thank you!!!! When making the dough, I recommend storing in the fridge for two days. Anything longer than that, then I recommend freezing it. You can always pre-make your discs when freezing them so that they're ready to go when you need them. I hope this helps!

How do you make the empanada dough an orangy color? My grandma used to make pastelios / empanadas and make the dough from scratch but never showed or told me how. She's passed away and I want her pastelios 😢❤😊 her dough always had a little orange color. Love your video and info and help.

Can these be put in the oven??

How would a taw out the dough

My empanadas turned into a calzone. Help! I’m not sure if it was the consistency of the dough like if I needed to add more water or if they were just too thick but when I tried to fry them wish just cheese to see if I made them right, they came out more like bread. Please if you have any tips or suggestions or possibly any idea as to why this happened I would greatly appreciate it.
