Before starting the preparation of our dumplings, we must have everything previously ready and in advance, such as the dough, the filling and all the utensils to use, such as forks, plate, pot, among others.
The oven must be preheated 15 minutes in advance.
Our filling cannot remain with broth, since, when the empanadilla is cooked, it could come out slowly and lose its traditional shape. Therefore, the filling should preferably remain dry.
At the time of stretching our dough, it must be very thin in order to dislike the filling.
The dough used in meat patties is very similar to pizza dough. Therefore, you can make it with puff pastry, but this time we will teach you how to prepare the traditional dough.

Sauté everything together, add a small watering of wine to give it a good flavor, add salt to taste, and cook until the liquid has evaporated.
Preparation of our meat patties:
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, on a floured work surface so your dough doesn't stick to the surface. (use whatever wheat flour is necessary).
Fold it two or three times, spreading it out again, until it is very smooth and leave it with a thickness of about 3 millimeters.
Pour a tablespoon of filling over the dough.
Form a dumpling, pressing the edges so that the filling does not come out. Cut the unnecessary dough and place the prepared dough on a floured baking sheet so that it does not stick.
Go forming pasties and when you have finished spread them with a brush dipped in the egg, previously beaten, this will give it a golden color.
