Pastelitos de Guayaba y Queso

Step by stepInstructions

1. Beat the cream cheese with the sugar until smooth.
2. On a floured surface, roll the puff pastry out slightly and cut into 4-inch by 4-inch (10 cm) squares.
3. Spread a spoonful of cream cheese on one half of each square and lay a slab of guava paste on top.
4. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle, press the edges, and crimp with a fork to seal.
5. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Whisk the egg with the water, brush the pastries, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Bake 20 to 22 minutes, until puffed and golden. Cool slightly and dust generously with powdered sugar.
