My Ecuadorean ex-MIL introduced me to so many delicious foods I never knew existed until I married her son.
Empanadas are my favorite of all of her dishes because they're such crowd pleasers. Savory picadillo with bits of salty, briny olive and a sweet surprise of the occasional raisin - all wrapped in a delicious, deep fried pastry. Too hot fresh out of the oil, so you chat and wait and chat a little more until they're ready to bite into...
She liked to use the frozen Goya wrappers, or discos, as they're called in Spanish. But one of those inspired, DIY, elbow-grease-y moments sent me on a search for a perfect empanada pastry recipe, and I found a near-perfect one on epicurious. Just a couple of modifications produced a very lightly sweet and oh-so-tender yet flakey pastry that works well with both sweet and savory fillings.
It's not a difficult recipe, but you do have to commit yourself to the time and effort it takes to make, chill, and roll the discos. A weekend afternoon with a lovely glass of Pinot Grigio and your favorite kitchen music is probably not a bad way to go about it.

Ingredients and spices that need to be Take to make Empanada Wrappers (Discos para Empanadas):
- 2 +1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 +1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup ice water
- 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cold (solid) chicken fat (or 1 extra Tablespoon butter)
Steps to make to make Empanada Wrappers (Discos para Empanadas)
- Sift flour with salt into a large bowl and blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal with some (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. If you don't have a sifter, just grab handfuls of flour and sift them through your fingers from 6 inches above the bowl OR whisk it all a few times, and your dry ingredients will be incorporated and aerated.
- Beat together egg, water, and vinegar in a small bowl with a fork. Add to flour mixture, stirring with fork until just incorporated. (Mixture will look shaggy.)
- Turn out mixture onto a lightly floured surface and gather together, then knead gently with heel of your hand once or twice, just enough to bring dough together. Form dough into a flat rectangle and chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, at least 1 hour. If you're in a hurry, 30 minutes in the back of the freezer will do.
If it's a warm day, I like to keep the dough I'm not currently working in the fridge. The butter can melt quickly and make the dough challenging to work with. - Cut dough into equal sized cubes (about 1+1/2 inches) and roll into balls. Leave 3 or 4 out to roll, and put rest in fridge.
- Roll into 4"-5" discs, depending on how big you want to make your empanadas.
