    **CRUST RECIPE, MAKES 12 EMPANADAS**
    3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
    4 oz (113g) butter-flavored shortening (or butter, or lard)
    2 teaspoons (10g) salt (plus more coarse salt for topping)
    2 eggs (one for the dough, one for the egg wash)
    1/3-1/2 cup (80-118 mL) white wine (or water)
    Combine the flour and salt and cut in the fat until you get a breadcrumb-like consistency. Mix in one egg and enough wine (or water) to make it come together into a dough. Knead for a few minutes until it's somewhat elastic. Cover and refrigerate for at least a half hour before rolling.
    Prepare an egg wash by beating an egg with enough water to get a paintable consistency. When the dough has rested, divide into 12 balls and roll them smooth. Roll each one out individually between two sheets of parchment or wax paper until it's like a thick tortilla.
    Put a little filling in the center of each one (filling recipes below), gather the excess up around the filling and crimp the seam across the top of the empanada. If you're having trouble sealing the crust to itself, bush on some egg wash and use it as glue.
    Put all the filled empanadas on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush them all with egg wash and sprinkle a little coarse salt over top. Bake at 400ºF/200ºC until brown.
    **CHICKEN FILLING FOR 12 EMPANADAS**
    2 big chicken legs (or thighs)
    1 14.5 oz (411g) can crushed or diced tomatoes
    1 jalapeño
    1 bunch green onions
    2-3 garlic cloves
    cheese (I used about 60g manchego)
    oil
    salt
    spices (I used oregano, cumin, smoked paprika and a little cinnamon)
    Heat a little oil in pot and get the chicken browning. Meanwhile slice the green onions, peel and chop the garlic, and dice the jalapeño. When the chicken is brown, put in the white slices of onion (reserve the greens), jalapeño and garlic and fry all that for a minute. Put in your spices and let them fry for a minute. Deglaze with the canned tomatoes. Put in a pinch of salt to start with, cover, reduce the heat and summer until the chicken is soft - about an hour.
    Remove the chicken to a cutting board. While it cools, turn up the heat on the pot and reduce the sauce until very thick, stirring constantly. Pull the meat off the chicken, shred it a bit (but remember it'll shred more as you stir into the sauce) and maybe chop it a bit if you don't like long strings of shredded chicken.
    Put the chicken in the pot along with the onion greens and some crumbled or shredded cheese. Stir, taste, add more salt if it needs it and possibly some water if it seems to dry - but I think dry fillings are better.
    **BEAN FILLING FOR 12 EMPANADAS**
    1 15.5 oz (439g) can kidney or black beans
    1 shallot
    1 red chile
    1/2 lb (227g) tomatillos
    2-3 garlic cloves
    1 lime
    1 bunch fresh cilantro
    cheese (I used about 60g of cotija)
    oil
    salt
    pepper
    sugar
    Peel and chop the shallot and garlic and chop the chili. Peel the tomatillos and chop them coarsely. Cook all that in some hot oil in a wide pan, stirring frequently until you have the consistency of a jam or chutney. Drain and rinse the beans and add them to the pan. Zest in the lime and squeeze in half the juice to start with. Put in the cilantro. Grind in a bunch of pepper, crumble or shred in some cheese, and put in a pinch of sugar to balance all the acidity. Mash up a few of the beans to help bing the mixture together, stir and taste. Add more salt if it needs it.

    A technique we use in Argentina to have a very juicy empanada, that's also manageable, is to saute the filling in lard or butter and wait for it to be cold before starting the filling process. That way you avoid leakage during preparation and cooking and also have a very juicy empanada while eating.
    In Argentina a juicy filling is considered very desirable, having a dry one is equivalent to a war crime.

      Chinese soup dumplings are made in a similar way - make the soup (a concentrated broth, really), chill it so it firms up into a jelly, and then wrap that jelly in the dumpling wrapper. By the time the dumplings are steamed, the soup will have melted and heated back up. It's a genius technique tbh!

They have a beautiful golden skin that's speckled with tiny bubbles and they're so crispy. They have a chorizo and mozzarella, a beef and potato and plain haloumi fillings. Oh and they make their own tomato dipping sauce. It's kind of between a puree and a chutney.

    typical argentinian empanada dough:
    - 500g flour
    - 100g lard - can substitute for some oil -
    - 5g salt
    - around 150g water
    Melt the fat in the water, mix the dry ingredients together. Add the water/fat mix in batches, incorporating until you get a playdoh-like consistency. Cut pingpong ball sized balls, stretch to 1mm or a bit less.
    If you go with oil, don't splurge on a nice, expensive one. The niceness isn't likely to survive the cooking process.
    To seal, wet the dough around the rim with your finger right before crimping.

    im from argentina and these look great! a lil too much tomato compared to what we do here, but we for sure add some tomato puree in the fillings. traditional ones here are ground meat with onion, garlic and red pepper, and also chicken with green onion, most of the strong flavors usually come from the seasoning. if u buy empanadas from any rotisery they are always heavily seasoned with paprika, oregano, parsley, garlic and ground cumin (comino idk how it is spelled in english). the tomato thing depends on the place and the province, but i personally always add some cause roasted tomato always makes it better; in the northern parts of argentina they also add potato and boiled egg into the filling.
    Also, almost no one makes their own empanada dough, here its so easy to get it pre-made that we just use those (they are called "tapas"). but your recipe its quite close to what ive seen and it definetively almost always has egg in it

    My first empanadas were chilean style, with minced beef, peppers, onions, garlic, diced boiled egg (which doesn't really add much of anything to the whole, imo), raisins, olives, and spices. I also like thin, crispy crust so no baking powder for me. My first-ever batch was kind of bland so I added more salt, raisins, and olives to the next one and I quite liked them, though now I just make up my own fillings.
    My most recent empanadas were so, so good: carne asada filling, with diced jalapeño and some sriracha (or just frank's hot sauce I forget which) added after baking. But the best part of them was the crust, which I made with coarse cornmeal and flour instead of just flour. It was like the best corn chip I've ever had with a pretty solid meat stuffing. I served them with pickled onions and jalapeños - wicked tasty.

    I made Chilean empanadas few days before this video came out. Just using a random recipe off the internet. I knew the filling was right because it tasted like I remember from Chile's independence day celebration we were invited to in the 80s and 90s. But the dough was weird. I think the Chileans we knew used a yeast dough, but the one I tried was more like a pastry dough. But I had too little butter and no shortening, so it ended up more like hardtack than pastry. Really easy to work with, and if you wanted to use this as a method of preservation it would probably last longer than a pastry dough.

    As an American with south American heritage (family originate from Argentina), your empanadas are super similar to the ones my mom, and girlfriend make (she's native to Argentina). Chickens filling is also my favorite. Don't be afraid to use pre-made dough discs or tapas as they're often called. Thats what we do. Goya makes the most widely available as far as I know and they're ok. La Salteña is closer to the tapas we make. And yes, literally use what you have. Personally I make ham and cheese filling with onions as its easy, also straight cheese is also awesome and probably your safest choice. Oh also, an important is that frying to just as common as baking, though the doughs a little different. Pre-made tapas comoe in both varieties, just double check to see which one which, though baking tapas are fine to fry with though the fry ones often dry out in the over.

    10:00 as an alternative, you can also fry them, though it might feel too oily for some. I don't know how it would fare with an air fryer (never cooked with one of those) but based on what I know about them, it should work fine.
    EDIT: and not even 30 seconds after I get oudone 😂

      A good way to fight dryness is using water instead of alcohol and having a juicy filling, in my country we fill the empanada with Pino (a stewed meat with onions)
