Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups gluten-free flour blend (containing xanthan gum)
  • 1/2 cup tapioca starch (tapioca flour)
  • 1/4 cup potato starch
  • 1/4 cup rice flour
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup ice water
  • 1 egg, for egg wash
  • Filling of your choice (ground beef, shredded chicken, black beans, cheese, vegetables)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, tapioca starch, potato starch, rice flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • On a lightly floured surface (or between two sheets of parchment paper), roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  • Use a round cookie cutter or a bowl to cut out circles of dough.
  • Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle.
  • Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
  • Brush the empanadas with egg wash.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.
