Steps

75 minutes

1

In a bowl, combine the flour, egg yolk, lemon juice, and oil. Gradually add warm water until the dough forms.
2

On a floured surface, knead the dough well until it is smooth but not sticky. Let it rest for about 20 minutes.
3

Proceed to make the empanadas. Fry them in hot oil, but not too hot, to ensure they don't brown on the outside while remaining raw inside.
