    Ingredients

    For Filling

    • 2 lbs Ground beef 85% lean
    • ½ cup Raisins
    • ½ cup Green peas
    • 1 pc White onion big size
    • ½ cup Beef broth
    • ½ teaspoon Salt
    • ½ teaspoon Paprika
    • ½ teaspoon Ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon Sugar
    • 2 tablespoon Cooking oil

    For Dough

    • 3 cups Flour
    • 1 cup Unsalted butter cut into 8 parts
    • ½ teaspoon Baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon Salt
    • 3 tablespoon Sugar
    • ½ cup Cold water
    • 3 cups Oil

    Instructions

    • Make the filing by heating 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan.
    • Saute the onion and then add the ground black pepper.
    • Put-in the beef and then cook for 5 minutes.
    • Add the raisins, paprika, sugar, and salt. Stir and then pour-in the beef broth.
    • Cover and then simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
    • Remove the cover and let the liquid evaporate.
    • Add the green peas.Stir and then cook for 2 minutes
    • Turn-off the heat. Set aside.
    • Prepare the dough by placing the salt, flour, baking powder, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Use a wire whisk to mix the ingredients.
    • Put the butter pieces in the mixing bowl along with the cold water. Mix using a pastry blender. If you don't have one, use 2 kitchen knives instead. You should mix like you are cutting the dough in several pieces.
    • Scoop about 3 tablespoons of the mixture and then shape it into a ball. Do this until all the dough is consumed.
    • Refrigerate the dough balls for about 20 to 25 minutes.
    • Flatten the dough ball by gently pressing the center with your hand against a clean flour-dusted flat surface. Use a rolling pin to spread the dough and make a flat circle about 4 to 5 inches in diameter.
    • Arrange about 4 to 5 tablespoons of filling in the middle of the dough. Lock the edges by folding or by pressing the tip of a fork in both sides.
    • Meanwhile, heat about 2 to 3 cups of oil in a cooking pot. Deep fry the empanadas for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the color turns golden brown.
    • Remove from the cooking pot and then arrange in a plate lined with paper towels. Let the excess oil drip-off.
    • Transfer to a serving plate. Serve and enjoy!
