| When frying empanadas, it’s crucial to ensure even cooking for a golden, crispy texture. Here are some tips: | |
| 1. Submerge Completely: Use enough oil in your fryer or deep pan to fully submerge the empanadas. This ensures both sides cook evenly. | |
| 2. Ladle Oil Over: If the empanadas float to the surface during frying, use a ladle to carefully spoon hot oil over the exposed side to cook it evenly. | |
| 3. Maintain Proper Temperature: Keep the oil between 350–375°F (175–190°C) to prevent undercooking or excessive oil absorption. | |
| 4. Flip if Necessary: If you notice uneven cooking, gently flip the empanadas using tongs or a slotted spoon for balanced browning. | |
| These steps help prevent one side from being undercooked and ensure perfectly crispy empanadas every time! | |
