Prepare the dough with five ingredients: flour, boiling water, salt, butter, and sugar.

The dough does not contain baking powder or yeast.

Let the dough rest before working with it.

Portion the dough into pieces of about 120 g each, or smaller for mini empanadas.

Boil 1 cup (250 ml) of water until it reaches a rolling boil.

Measure out 500 g of all-purpose flour (about 4 cups).

Add 1 teaspoon of salt (10 g) to the flour.

Add 1 tablespoon of sugar (15 g) to the flour to help with browning.

Add 120 g of butter, which can be measured as 6 tablespoons, and optionally add 30 g of lard (2 tablespoons).

Once the water is boiling, pour it into the flour mixture carefully to avoid burns.

Mix the boiling water with the flour using a spoon to combine.

Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, use your hands to knead the dough until smooth.

Cover the dough and let it rest before rolling out.

Roll out the dough to your desired thickness and cut into circles for filling.

Fill each circle with your choice of filling, such as cheese, chicken, or meat.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges tightly.
