---

• Add the egg and butter to the cassava puree.

---

• Then add the powders: cornflour, salt, garlic, pepper, knead vigorously with the help of your hands to remove any lumps and obtain a smooth and manageable dough.

---

• While we make the balls to start with the empanadas, put the frying pan on the cooker, add the oil so that it heats up.

---

• We proceed to grate the llanero cheese and assemble the empanadas.

---

• Place a piece of plastic wrap on the counter, flatten the balls, add the grated cheese, close each empanada and transfer it to the frying pan with the previously heated oil.

---

---

---

• • Finally, let it cook, browning it completely on both sides.

---
