Recipe of Pastelitos de Guayaba

Join me and let's see how to make Pastelitos de Guayaba

Instructions:

Step 1
• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
• Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to create a large rectangle. Use a sharp knife or pastry cutter to cut the pastry into 12 equal squares.
Step 3
• Place a small cube of guava paste (about 1 tablespoon) in the center of each pastry square.
Step 4
• Fold each pastry square diagonally to form a triangle. Use a fork to press the edges together, sealing the pastries.
Step 5
• Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden brown color when baked.
Step 6
• Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown.
Step 7
• Remove the pastelitos from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
Step 8
• Optionally, dust the pastries with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Step 9
• Serve your Pastelitos de Guayaba warm or at room temperature.
