Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
Peel the squash, remove the seeds and cut the flesh into roughly 1 cm dice.
Toss the butternut with the oil and fleur de sel, spread on a tray and roast 2025 min until tender and lightly coloured. Let cool slightly.
In a bowl, mix the roasted butternut, finely chopped ginger, grated cheese, green chilli and pepper. Taste and adjust if needed.
Heat the water and butter in a saucepan until the butter is fully melted, then turn off the heat.
Let the mixture cool to about 45 °C (warm to the touch, not hot).
Pour the warm mixture over the flour and salt, knead until you have a ball of dough.
Knead on the work surface until smooth and no longer sticky.
Cover with a damp cloth and let rest at room temperature.
Roll out the dough and cut 15 circles.
In the centre of each circle: place a portion of butternut filling then 1 to 2 hazelnuts.
Moisten the edges, fold into a half-moon and pinch firmly to seal.
Bake the empanadas 20 min at 200 °C until golden and crispy.

The water-butter mixture must be warm (about 45 °C) so it doesn't cook the flour.
Don't overfill to avoid the filling leaking; seal the edges well.
Hazelnuts can be whole or roughly chopped to taste.
