- 1 eachLarge egg
- 1 tbspWater
- 1 tbspSugar
Make it
- Heat the oven to 200°C/400°F and line a baking tray with parchment. Cut the chilled pastry into 12 equal rectangles, about twice as long as they are wide.
- Divide the guava paste and cream cheese among the rectangles, placing the filling on one half and leaving a 1-cm border. Brush the borders lightly with water from the measured tablespoon, fold over and press with a fork to seal.
- Beat the egg with any remaining water. Set the parcels on the tray with space between them, brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Cut a small vent in each top.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until well puffed, deeply golden on the top and cooked on the base. Cool for 10 minutes before serving two pastries per portion; the filling will be very hot when first baked.
