Argentinean-Inspired Beef Mini Empanadas

2 . Scrape mixture into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until fully chilled, 1 to 2 hours; this ensures the dough will not be soggy when the empanadas are baked.

3 . Prepare dough: Whisk flour and salt together in a medium bowl until combined. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4 . Whisk cold water, egg, and vinegar together in a small bowl. Pour into the dry ingredients and blend with a fork. Use your hands to finish blending the ingredients until they come together in a ball. Flatten the ball into a disc, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

5 . When you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

6 . Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut circles, rerolling the scraps as necessary. I got about 18 circles.

7 . Hold each circle in your hand and place a heaping tablespoon of filling in the center. Gently fold the ends over the top and press to seal all the way around. Reserve extra filling for another use.

8 . Set empanadas on a baking sheet. Press around the sealed edges with a fork if desired.

Ham, Potato, and Cheese Soup

Lenten buns with apple and lemon

1 . Pour warm water into a bowl, add the yeast and sugar, stir until completely dissolved. Place in a warm place until frothy.

2 . Pour salt and vegetable oil into the yeast mixture. Gradually add 1 cup of sifted flour and stir with a spoon. Then gradually pour in the remaining flour and knead the dough with your hands. The dough should be smooth and moist, but not sticky. If the dough sticks, add more flour and knead to the correct consistency. Cover the dough with a napkin and leave to rise in a warm place. When the dough has increased by 1.5 times, knead well again, again cover with a napkin and leave until the second approach.

3 . While our dough is rising, let's make the filling. Wash the lemons and boil them in plenty of water for about 10~15 minutes. Pour cold water over the lemons and leave to cool. Then cut each one in half, remove the pips and squeeze out the juice (we need it for the glaze).

4 . Grind the peels of lemons on a mincer through a fine grinder, pre-press them well so that there is no excess liquid.

5 . Wash the apples, remove the core and grate them on a coarse grater. Do not mince the apples through a meat grinder, otherwise you will get a watery pulp, which will not allow the dough to bake properly. Mix with the lemon peels and sugar (adjust the sugar to taste, depending on the sweetness of the apples). Add the cinnamon and raisins.

6 . Roll out the dough into a rectangle about half a centimeter thick and place the filling in a thin layer.

7 . Roll up into a roll, using a sharp knife to place into slices 3-4 centimeters thick.

8 . Lubricate the form abundantly with vegetable oil. Dip the walls of each slice in oil and place it cut side up.

9 . Place in a warm place for the dough to rise and turn on the oven at 200 *C.

10 . Bake for about 40 minutes, referring to your oven. In the meantime, make the syrup. In a small bowl, bring 4 tsp. lemon juice to a boil with 4 tsp. brown sugar and, stirring, cook until the sugar is dissolved.

11 . Take the ready buns out of the oven and immediately smear the syrup, most conveniently with a silicone brush. The aroma is incredible! Enjoy!
