Hi there, please note that after several tests, the recipe noted here is better than the one in the video. Preparation in the video is correct, so follow the same steps.
From the blog post:"Now, we tested a few recipes, and not all of them worked out great. So here goes the one that worked best. In the video you’ll learn proper preparation, but we think that the following recipe makes a better dough (the one in the video came out a little dry)." Hope you try it!

So the video is significantly different than the p...

So the video is significantly different than the printed recipe. 3 1/2 TBS lard vs. 8 TBS in the printed recipe; 2 cups of water vs. 3/4 cup in the printed recipe; 2 1/2 cups of flour (it looks like, or is it 3 cups?) vs. 2 cups in the printed recipe.

Can you tell me what the finished dough looks like, especially for the video recipe? Is it flaky?

Thanks for the recipe!! We are dealing with lactose as well as gluten intolerance, has anyone tried this with a non-dairy butter substitute?

Yes, you can either make them with lard or butter - we found that using lard changes the texture... in a positive way :)
8 Tablespoons is the equivalent to 1 stick. Hope you try them!

Hi! Does the recipe in the video take lard, instead of butter? If yes, can you tell me how many tablespoons? Thanks, Ceci

Thanks! After a few years in Argentina, my kids only like the Argentine variety. With a new need for a gluten free we have felt a major loss. Thanks for renewed hope. We can't wait to try the recipe.

Hi Cynthia! we usually use a mix from Red Mill - I think the important thing is that you don't touch the dough much, make it quickly and store in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes before rolling. Happy holidays!

Julia & Julieta:

iMil gracias! My father is Argentine and I've always had empanadas, sandwiches de miga, medialunas and all of the other delicious treats from Argentina for Christmas. I was just put on a gluten-free diet and was mourning the loss of these delicacies this Christmas. I'm going to attempt to make the discos tonight. Any suggestions on what type of flour to use? It seems as if there are so many gluten-free flours to choose from. I want to make sure I get the one that will work best and least dry.

Un Besito...
Cynthia
