Pastel de Gloria (Puff Pastry with Guava and Arequipe)
One serving has 432 kcal and 6 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of selenium (27%) and riboflavin (25%). Ready in 50 minutes.

- Preparation: 25 min
- Cooking: 25 min
- Makes: 1 serving (105 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 50 g Puff pastry
- 25 g Guava paste (bocadillo)
- 20 g Arequipe (dulce de leche)
- 6.2 g Egg, beaten, for brushing
- 3.8 g Sugar, for sprinkling
Method
- Makes 8 pastries, one to a serving; the amounts are for one pastry, so multiply every ingredient by 8 for the whole batch. Heat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F) and line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Roll the puff pastry out to about 3 mm and cut it into 16 squares of about 10 cm. Lay 8 of them on the trays.
- Cut the guava paste into 8 slices about 1 cm thick and lay one in the middle of each square on the trays, then top each with a spoonful of the arequipe, keeping a 1.5 cm border clear.
- Brush the borders with the beaten egg, lay the remaining squares on top and press the edges down with a fork to seal them. Brush the tops with egg and cut a small slit in the centre of each.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until puffed, deep golden and crisp.
- Sprinkle the sugar over the pastries as soon as they come out of the oven, so it sticks to the hot pastry. Leave for 10 minutes before eating: the filling is very hot.
