Preparation method
- In a bowl, combine the flour, 3 tablespoons of butter, the egg yolk, and salt
- Using your fingertips, work the mixture until it forms a crumbly, homogeneous dough
- In a blender, combine the whole eggs, grated or cubed cheese, 1 tablespoon of butter, and milk
- Line the bottom and sides of individual empada tins with the prepared dough
