Medium
  • In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking powder, butter, and vinegar until the butter is well integrated, then slowly pour in the water and mix until a dough forms. When the dough has a homogeneous consistency, cover with a cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.
  • For the meat filling: heat the olive oil in a skillet and add the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper, cooking for 5 minutes. Incorporate the ground meat, salt, pepper, oregano, and cumin, and cook for 10 minutes or until the meat is well cooked. Remove from heat and mix with the egg and olives. Let cool.
  • For the corn filling: melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, add the onion, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the corn, cook for 2 minutes, and remove from heat.
  • Sprinkle some flour on a flat surface, roll out the dough, and cut into 5 cm wide circles. Place half of the dough discs on a baking sheet, fill with the meat, and close by twisting them. Fill the other half of the dough with corn and cheese, and seal with the help of a fork.
  • Glaze the Argentinian empanadas with egg and bake at 180 °C for 30 minutes.
  • Serve the empanadas and accompany with chimichurri.
