Delicious snacks, perfect for munching. I filled them with chorizo, but you can choose your favorite filling. A great choice for watching a game or at a gathering.

Preparation

30 mins

Medium

For the dough: Sift all the dry ingredients: flour and salt. Combine with the lard and crumble it with your fingers until it resembles a sandy consistency. Pour in the beer and form a smooth dough. Fry the chorizo and let it cool. If we don't want to fill our empanadas with chorizo, we can make our filling at this moment. It can even be something sweet like jam. With the help of a rolling pin, roll out the dough and cut with a circular cutter. Fill the empanadas and fold them. Use a fork to seal the edge of our empanada so it doesn't open while baking and it also serves as decoration. Preheat the oven to 175-200°C. Place the empanadas on a greased and floured baking tray. Brush with egg and bake until golden brown.
