Instructions
- Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl.
- Gradually add the oil and lukewarm water and knead for 5 minutes until you have a soft, non-sticky dough.
- Cover and let the dough rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Roll it out to 3 mm thick, cut 10 cm discs and fill them with grated cheese.
- Fold the discs into half-moons and seal the edges well by pressing with a fork.
- Heat the oil to 180 °C and fry the empanadas for 2 to 3 minutes, turning them: they should puff up and turn golden.
- Drain on paper towel, dust with sugar and cinnamon, and serve warm.
