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!
