Muy ricas. La masa necesita más sal y yo también agregué un poquito más agua para una consistencia más deseable. Siempre omito las acetunas cuando hago las empanaditas, a mi no me gustan tanto.. pero igual las tuyas las hice y resultaron riqiusimos. Gracias!

My mother is from Chile and this recipe is almost exactly like hers. She used green olives with pimentos instead of black olives. An easier recipe for the dough is:
four sticks of butter melted
one cup of milk
four cups of flour
mix, cover and refrigerate over night
let the dough sit at room temp for about 20 minutes and it is easy to roll, flaky and perfect
brush empanadas with a beaten egg lightly before baking
This is for the dough only: it wasn't bad but it wasn't the authentic empanada dough I was looking for. It wasn't flaky or pastry-like enough so I'd say the proportions of butter and flour would need to be altered. If you aren't used to eating real empanadas then this dough will do just fine but if you are cooking for Latinos you should keep looking for a better recipe.
I had more filling then dough and it seemed the dough was a little dry but the more i worked it the less dry it became. I also used groundbeef insead because whenever I've been to chile that is what I would get plus I could not find ground pork. Very good. Esp liked that I could make the dough and it turned out great!
Thank you for this! my husband is from Chile also and he loves Empanadas; however I had no Idea where to start. Any more traditional Chilean recipies you have tucked under your sleeve would be appreciated.:)
Love the combination of the olives and raisins in these chilean-style empanadas.
I made this recipe and found: 1- the filling to be very good and flavourful I used ground beef instead 2- the dough as described was too dry and hard to handle so I added water until it became soft and elastic (perhaps due to variation in flour) 3- i used the amounts for 18 empanadas but made 85 mini-empanadas for a party.
I have just made these. They are delicious! I had a teacher from Chile who used to bring empanadas to class. They taste exactly the same.
I made this first time ever making Empanadas and it was a HUGE hit. I will definately be making this again. The filling is so good - everyone asked what was the slight sweetness inside and they could not guess it was the raisins.
