Mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Cut in 4 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.

Add 1 beaten egg and 1/4 cup of cold water and knead until the dough comes together.

Divide the dough and roll out thin circles.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle.

Fold the dough over to create a half moon shape and seal the edges by pressing or crimping with a fork.

Bake the empanadas at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes or fry them in hot vegetable oil until golden and crispy on both sides.
