Step by Step Method
Step 1
Dsing a 9cm round cookie cutter, cut 18 discs from pastry.
Step 2
Place 1 teaspoon of cheese in centre of each disc, brush edges with egg and fold to enclose and pinch edges to seal.
Step 3
Heat enough oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over high heat to reach a depth of 5cm (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly with absorbing any oil).
Step 4
Deep-fry the empanadas, in batches, for 2 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
Step 5
Drain on paper towel.
