Why is my empanada dough turning out dry?

[Dawn]

Hi guys! My empanada dough keeps turning out dry and crumbly. Any idea why this is happening or how I can fix it? Would love some tips from the experts here!

I think adding a bit more water could help. Sometimes dough just needs a bit more hydration, though!

Maybe you don't work quickly, what happened was the dough dry out and start to crack. Cracked empanada dough means that your empanadas will also have cracks in them, which means oil seeping into your filling in the fryer and drying out your empanada.
