Sausage and Cheese Empanadas

Preparación

1. 1

   Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 3mm thickness.

4. 4

   Cut the dough into circles using a round cutter or a glass, approximately 10cm in diameter.

   Grate the cheese and mix it with the cooked sausage.

6. 6

   Place a spoonful of the sausage and cheese mixture in the center of each dough circle.

7. 7

   Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.

8. 8

   Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

9. 9

   Brush the tops of the empanadas with a little beaten egg or milk for a golden finish.
