Method
Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the beaten egg and cold water, mixing until a cohesive dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Cook the Filling
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onions and bell peppers in a bit of oil until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the shredded chicken and cumin, mixing to combine. Stir in the cheese until melted. Remove from heat and let cool.
Form Empanadas
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out the chilled dough to about ⅛ inch thick. Cut out circles, place filling on one half, fold over, and seal the edges firmly.
Bake the Empanadas
- Arrange sealed empanadas on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with a beaten egg and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
