How to make homemade empanadas without oven:
- Melt the butter and heat the water to start preparing the dough for the homemade empanadas.
- Mix the flour with the salt and the sugar. We have used wheat flour, but if you prefer you can use another type of flour.
- Form a volcano with the flour and add the butter and water to the center to knead for 5-8 minutes.
- Make a ball with the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Sauté ground beef and season to taste. If you want, and so that the homemade empanadas without oven have more flavor, you can add spices such as oregano or thyme.
- Fill the empanadas and close them, sealing the edges well. To do this, separate small portions of dough, spread them out with a rolling pin, cut circles, place the filling in one half and close by passing the other half over. Close the edges by pressing with the tips of a fork.
- Fry the homemade empanadas in plenty of hot oil until golden brown. Reserve them on absorbent paper to remove excess fat.
- Serve the homemade empanadas without oven hot or cold, as you like, and accompany them with your favorite sauce. You can prepare barbecue sauce, chimichurri sauce, etc.
