The flavor was fine, though I felt it lacked a certain kick. I replaced the green olives with black ones, and the total preparation time exceeded 90 minutes. While the dough was excellent, the stuffing lacked depth. Overall, it felt like too much effort for a fairly average dish.

My grandsons, ages 4 and 7, asked to help me bake empanadas after watching a cooking video online. To suit their preferences, we skipped the onions, swapped in black olives for the green ones, and included half a cup of raisins to give them a sweet twist. Those kids polished them off in no time!

These were quite tasty for our family.
