Sooo…I just made these but replaced the 1/2 cup with masa harina instead of whole wheat and then stuffed them with chicken smothered in paprika and cayenne that I roasted along with some red peppers and onions, which I then mixed up with some stuffed olives, hard-boiled egg and queso seco. No raisins, but only because they seem to have disappeared from my pantry…

The empanada is a work of pure genius (Microbrews are a must as accompaniment). And after traveling in Chile & Argentina for four months and craving nothing but empanadas during the three weeks I’ve been back, this dough recipe is heaven sent and the best I’ve seen so far. Thanks Deb!

OH MY GOD!! I tried making these for Christmas but I made them round (what we call “pastelitos” in Dominican Republic). They were absolutely amazing!! My whole family loved them so I had to make them again a few days later. Thank you for such a great recipe.

Love your blog btw.

YUM. I just made (and ate) these for supper tonight. I followed the recipe for the empanada dough using all white flour and it was unbelievable. The filling was delicious as well. We added more garlic and some cayenne pepper. I baked them, but I can’t imagine that frying them could make them any better – they were perfect as is, and not too greasy.

I made these today and used corn but left out the olives and raisins. I got the Goya pre-made dough disks with no problem at my local grocery store. I baked them and plan to freeze most of them. I added more spices and some hot sauce, but I think I was afraid to add “too much” and ended up wishing I had put in a bit more.
