When the dough is ready, flour a flat surface and smooth it out with a wooden rolling pin or something similar.

Finally, we paint with a little beaten egg or milk and put the cod pie with raisins and pine nuts in the oven already hot at 180 ºC for 30 minutes.
Once the time has passed, we take the empanada out of the oven and wait for it to cool down a bit before serving. You will see, this recipe for Galician cod pie with raisins is infallible. It’s solo good, there won’t be any leftover crumbs!
