  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until puffed, deep golden and crisp.
  6. 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.
