Dough Texture
The dough should be flaky and tender, not tough. Using cold butter and minimal kneading is key to achieving this texture.
Filling Consistency
The filling should be thick enough to hold its shape inside the empada but not too dry. Adding a thickening agent like flour or cornstarch can help.
Baking Temperature
Bake the empadas at a moderate temperature to ensure they cook through evenly and the crust turns golden brown.
Resting the Dough
Allowing the dough to rest in the refrigerator before rolling it out will relax the gluten and prevent it from shrinking during baking.
