Empanada Dough
Modified Epicurious recipe
Yield: Makes enough for 12 pastries
INGREDIENTS
2-1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large egg
1/3 cup ice water
1 tbsp distilled white or red wine vinegar (helps make dough tender, won’t leave any flavor in finished dough)
METHOD
Sift flour with salt into a large bowl and blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal with some (roughly pea-size) butter lumps.
In a small bowl, beat together egg, water, and vinegar with a fork or whisk. Add to flour mixture, stirring with fork until just incorporated. (Mixture will look shaggy.)
Turn out mixture onto a lightly floured surface and gather together, then knead gently with heel of your hand once or twice, just enough to bring dough together. Form dough into a flat rectangle and chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, at least 2 to 3 hours.
When ready to make empanadas, let warm up on counter for a few minutes before dividing dough and rolling as directed above.
