  "instructions": "Make the Dough: Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Add butter, using your fingers to blend into a crumbly texture. Gradually add water, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.\r\nPrepare the Filling: Cook onions in a pan until translucent. Add ground beef, cooking until browned. Stir in spices, then remove from heat. Once cooled, mix in eggs and olives.\r\nAssemble: Roll out the dough and cut into circles. Place a spoonful of filling in each, fold over, and seal the edges.\r\nCook: Bake at 200\u00b0C (400\u00b0F) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden.\r\nPro Tips:\r\n\r\nFor a flakier crust, incorporate a tablespoon of vinegar into the dough mixture. This helps prevent gluten formation.\r\nSeal the edges of the empanadas with a fork to ensure they do not open during baking or frying.",
