COOKING METHOD
The Classic Oven-baked Method
(15-20min)
1) Preheat the oven to 230-250°C
Use 230°C for baking 2 to 6 empanadas, and 240-250°C for larger batches
2) Brush the empanadas with an egg wash for a glossy finish
3) Bake for 15-20min until golden
Note that empanadas with creamier fillings like humita or ham and cheese will lose a little of filling if overcooked so keep a close eye and remove as needed!
4) Allow them to cool briefly to avoid burns. Enjoy !!
* If you are baking large quantities we highly suggest you to defrost the empanadas in the fridge before baking
