When I was first teaching myself how to cook, Empanadas were the first recipe I was able to make that made fully proud of my cooking. After consistently improving them for around 3 years now, I’ve finally concocted a recipe that makes a near perfect, but also health conscious, Empanada. Here are some of the things I added to the recipe to make them burst with flavor!

Ingredients

Before you get started, here’s a list of all the ingredients you’re going to need for this recipe:

For the Dough -

4 cups All Purpose flower

2 teaspoons kosher salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 stick of butter

2 jalapenos
