Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Add the egg yolks and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out circles using a round cookie cutter.
-
Place a spoonful of apricot preserves in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal.
-
Place the empanaditas on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Allow the empanaditas to cool for 10 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
