  6. Mix flour, slowly adding water, butter and paprika/oil. Leave some water for the last (you might not need to use all the water). If the dough is too moist or too dry, adjust with more flour or water. Kead until uniform and not sticky

  8. Divide dough into the desired amount of empanadas (20 or more if you want them smaller)
