Empanadas, true icons of South American cuisine, are much more than a simple snack: they represent a rich and diverse culinary tradition rooted in local history and flavors. Originating from Spain, these small stuffed pastries crossed the Atlantic with settlers to become a staple in countries like Argentina, Chile, and Colombia, each region developing its own variations.

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

On a floured surface, shape the cooled dough into a roll (30 cm) and divide into 14 pieces.

Roll each piece into a circle about 12 cm in diameter and 3 mm thick.

Distribute the filling between the dough circles (about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons each) and moisten the edges with water. Fold the dough to enclose the filling and pinch the edges to seal.

Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush with milk using a pastry brush.

Bake in the oven at 200°C for 15 minutes. The empanadas should be risen and golden.

Serve hot or cold.
