About Plain empanada
The Plain Empanada is a classic pastry originating from Spanish and Latin American cuisine, celebrated for its simple yet satisfying flavors. Typically made with a golden, flaky dough and filled with seasoned meat, vegetables, or cheese, this handheld dish is both versatile and comforting. The dough is traditionally crafted from flour, butter, and water, imparting a rich, buttery texture. While empanadas deliver a hearty dose of flavor, they are often fried, which increases their fat content. However, baked versions present a lighter alternative, reducing overall calories and fat. Depending on the filling, empanadas can provide a source of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and Vitamin C. They can be customized to include healthier ingredients, such as lean meats, whole-grain dough, or an array of colorful veggies. A Plain Empanada offers delicious simplicity with the potential for balanced, nutritious adjustments to fit your dietary needs.
