Jam-Filled Empanadas

Jam-Filled Empanadas are a delicious and easy-to-make pastry that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack. These empanadas are filled with your favorite jam and baked to perfection, creating a sweet and savory treat that is sure to please.

To make Jam-Filled Empanadas, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1 cup jam (your choice of flavor)
- 1 egg, beaten

To begin, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of jam onto one half of each circle, leaving a small border around the edge.
Fold the other half of the dough over the jam and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges and poke a few holes in the top of each empanada to allow steam to escape. Brush the beaten egg over the tops of the empanadas.
Bake the empanadas for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
These Jam-Filled Empanadas are a perfect combination of sweet and savory. The flaky pastry crust pairs perfectly with the sweet jam filling, creating a delicious treat that is sure to satisfy your cravings.
