Step 1
Prepare the dough. Mix the sifted flour with the baking powder and salt. Add the grated butter and rub it into the flour. Then pour in the wine and knead into an elastic dough. Wrap it in clingfilm and put it in the fridge for 1 hour.
Step 2
Prepare the filling. Chop the mushrooms, sweet pepper, chili pepper, green beans, onion and garlic. Saute the vegetables in vegetable oil, then add the corn and fry everything together for another 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the butter, chopped parsley, salt, oregano, black pepper, thyme and fry for another half a minute. Allow the filling to cool.
Step 3
Dust the table with flour, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a thin circle. Brush half of the circle with egg yolk, place the filling in the middle and seal the edges.
Step 4
Deep-fry the empanadas until golden. Serve hot or warm. Enjoy.
