Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Dough:
  • 280 grams gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 113 grams cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.25 cup ice cold water
  • For the Savory Beef Filling:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 0.25 cup sliced green olives

Instructions

  • Make the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits of butter remaining.
  • Beat the egg with ¼ cup of ice water. Gradually add the egg mixture to the flour, stirring with a fork until the dough begins to clump together. If it’s too dry, add more water, one tablespoon at a time.
  • Gently knead the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the Filling: While the dough chills, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion until softened. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned.
  • Stir in the cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it cool slightly, then stir in the chopped hard-boiled eggs and olives.
  • Assemble the Empanadas: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about â…›-inch thickness. Use a round cutter or a bowl to cut out circles about 5-6 inches in diameter.
  • Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
  • Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the empanadas on the prepared baking sheet. You can brush them with an egg wash for extra shine.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
