Make sure your hands are clean.

In a bowl, add salt and flour.

Add 3 cubes of cold butter to the flour.

Use your hands to break up the butter into the flour until it resembles small pebbles.

In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of ice water with 3 tablespoons of distilled vinegar.

Create a well in the flour mixture and add 3 eggs.

Incorporate the eggs with your hands, adding the ice water mixture a little at a time.

Form the mixture into a ball and wrap it in plastic.

Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, unwrap the dough and clean your surface.

Flour the surface and your hands, then cut the dough in half.

Roll out the dough to your desired thickness.

Use a round cutter to make circles from the rolled dough.

Place a tablespoon of chicken curry mixture in the center of each circle.

Add a little brie cheese on top of the curry filling.

Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape.

Seal the edges by pressing them together, and it's okay if some filling comes out.

Prepare an egg wash with an egg yolk and brush it over the top of the empanadas.

Bake the empanadas at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 15 minutes.

Serve with your favorite sauce.
