Why I Love This Recipe


Ingredients You'll Need

For the empanada dough
170g / 1¼ cup all-purpose flour
20g / 1½ tbsp corn flour/corn starch
100g soft butter (1 stick minus 1 tbsp)
50g / 1/3 cup icing/confectioner’s sugar
40g / 1/3 cup ground hazelnuts
1 egg
A pinch of salt

For the frangipane
120g / ½ cup Nutella
50g / ½ stick butter
120g / 1¼ cup ground hazelnuts
2 eggs

For the egg wash
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon milk


Directions

Prepare the empanada dough: in a bowl, sift the flour and corn flour. In a separate bowl, sift the sugar and hazelnuts. Using your hands or in a food processor, rub the flour and butter together until you get a sand-like texture. Combine with the sugar and hazelnuts. Once incorporated, crack the egg and mix until the dough comes together. Tip the dough onto a piece of Clingfilm, shape into a flat disk, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.


Prepare the frangipane filling: in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and Nutella together, stirring often so the Nutella doesn’t burn and stick to the bottom of the pan. In a bowl, beat the eggs, then fold in the ground hazelnuts. Add to the Nutella mixture, stir well to combine and set aside to cool.


Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F.


Take the dough out of the fridge and allow it to soften for a few minutes.


Put the dough between two pieces of baking paper and carefully roll it out to about 0.3cm/ 1/8in thickness.


Using a 12cm/6in cookie cutter or bowl, cut 6 to 8 circles into the dough.


Put about 1½ tsp filling in the centre of each disk (you will have more filling than you need). Dampen the edges of each circle with a little water and close them in half-moon-shaped parcels.


Seal each parcel by pressing a fork lightly around the outer edge.


Line the empanadas on a baking paper-lined baking sheet.


Beat the egg yolk and milk and brush over the empanadas.


Bake for about 30-minutes, or until golden.


Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
