(Empanadas)
Category: Pastries and Pies
Makes about 24 small turnovers
Empanadas, both savory and sweet, are consumed all over Mexico. This dough is easy to manage and is suitable for savory (or sweet) fillings.

   2 cups all-purpose flour
   1/4 teaspoon salt
   3/4 cup cold unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), cut into small pieces
   1 large egg yolk
   1/4 cup ice water

1. Put the flour and salt in a food processor bowl and blend for about 5 seconds. Add the butter and process until crumbly, 10 to 15 seconds.

2. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk and water with a fork and add all at once to the flour mixture. Process until a dough forms and holds together. Remove the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Divide the dough in half for easier handling and form into discs. The dough is ready to use. Cover with plastic and set aside while making the filling. If not using right away, wrap completely in plastic and refrigerate up to 3 days.
