Pastelitos de Guayaba

Step by stepInstructions

1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. On a floured surface, roll the puff pastry slightly thinner and cut it into 4-inch (10 cm) squares.
3. Place a slice of guava paste and a teaspoon of cream cheese in the center of each square.
4. Brush the edges with beaten egg, fold each square into a triangle, and press the edges with a fork to seal.
5. Brush the tops with egg, sprinkle with sugar, and cut two small slits for steam.
6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until puffed and deep golden brown.
7. Cool for 10 minutes on the sheet, brushing with simple syrup if you want the classic sheen, and serve warm with café cubano.
