Tips:

To make sure the empanada dough is pliable and easy to work with, make sure the butter is cold and the water is ice-cold.
When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and avoid overworking it, as this can make the dough tough.
If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water.
When filling the empanadas, do not overfill them, as this can make them difficult to seal.
To prevent the empanadas from sticking to the baking sheet, grease the sheet lightly with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
When baking the empanadas, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the cooking time to ensure that they brown evenly.
