GF Empanadas recipe Delicious glutenfree empanadas Easy to make

Ingredients

Scale
  • 250 grams Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 30 grams Tapioca Starch (also called Tapioca Flour)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 115 grams Cold Butter, cubed
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 6-8 tablespoons Ice Water
  • 500 grams Ground beef or other filling of your choice
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 1 medium Pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 400 grams Canned Diced Tomatoes, drained
  • 2 teaspoons Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, tapioca starch, and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, apple cider vinegar, and ice water.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Form the dough into a disc, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare your desired filling. If using ground beef, brown it in a skillet with the onion, pepper, and garlic. Drain any excess fat. Add the diced tomatoes, cumin, paprika, and oregano. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured surface (or between two sheets of parchment paper), roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  • Use a cookie cutter or bowl to cut out circles (about 4-5 inches in diameter).
  • Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle.
  • Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Seal the edges tightly with a fork.
  • Brush the empanadas with egg wash (optional).
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.
