Procedure:
 

1. Mix all ingredients. Knead together briefly so that the dough will just hold together.
2. Roll dough out on a lightly floured board to circles about 3-4 inches in diameter.
3. Place a spoonful of empanada filling of your choice on one side of the circle. Moisten the edges of the circle with a small amount of water and fold the dough over the filling to make a half circle. Press the edges together to seal.
4. Fry at medium to high heat until golden brown.
