Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt
  • 2 tablespoons each minced fresh sage and thyme
  • 3/4 cups (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 1/4 cups ice water

Directions

  1. In a food processor, pulse all-purpose flour
    (spooned and leveled), baking powder, and coarse salt. Add minced
    fresh sage and thyme; pulse until combined. Add cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces; pulse
    until mixture is the texture of coarse meal, with a few
    pea-size pieces butter remaining. Add 1 cup ice water; pulse
    until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed
    (add up to 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed).
    Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and
    knead just until dough comes together, 4 to 5 times.

Cook's Note

Freeze baked empanadas up to 1 month. Warm in a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes.
