Ingredients

1 1/2 tsp oil
2 onions
1 lb ground beef
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 cup beef broth
1/4 cup raisins
1 tbsp unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 1/2 tsp salt
8 tbsp shortening
2 egg yolks
5 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
24 black olives
3 hard boiled eggs
1 egg yolk beaten with 1 tbsp milk

Steps

Cook the onions in oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 8 minutes.
Add the ground beef, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and chili powder, then cook for 10 minutes until the beef reaches 160 F.
Stir in the broth, raisins, and 1 tablespoon flour, then cook for 3 minutes until thickened and cool the filling for 20 minutes.
Mix the 5 cups flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, shortening, two egg yolks, and milk into a dough, then rest it for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 12 pieces, roll each piece into a round, and fill with beef mixture, olives, and hard-boiled egg.
Fold and seal the empanadas, brush them with the beaten egg yolk and milk, and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake at 400 F for 25 minutes, until the pastry is golden and crisp.
