- Place sifted flour in the food processor with chilled butter. Pulse until mixture forms crumbs. Add egg, and pulse until just combined.
- Dissolve salt in warm water. Add gradually to the food processor and pulse until a soft pastry dough ball is formed.
- Turn into a bowl and wrap tightly with cling film; chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Flour a work surface then knead the dough for 1 minute. Roll out to a thickness of 2mm then cut into discs. At this stage you can freeze the discs for later use, or use right away for your favourite sweet or savoury empanadas.
