Mini Cream-Filled Pastry

Place the wheat flour on a smooth surface and make an indentation in the middle

Place 1 whole egg and 1 yolk in the indentation

Add 1/2 cup of water and salt

Work the dough until it becomes smooth and firm; the dough should be soft, but not sticky

Knead well and let it rest for 15 minutes

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of about 1 mm and cut into squares of about 7-8 cm

Place 1/2 teaspoon of cream in the center of each square

Dip the edges with lightly beaten egg whites and fold into a triangle

Press the edges well with a fork to prevent the cream from escaping

Boil 4 liters of water in a large pot with 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Carefully place the triangles into the boiling water

Let cook for 5 minutes and test one triangle to see if it's cooked

Remove from the water with a slotted spoon and drain well

Fry the puff pastry in butter or margarine until lightly browned

Add the triangles and stir carefully over low heat, so they're coated with the flour mixture

Dust with a pinch of vanilla and serve

Variation: these triangles can be filled with savory ingredients

For example, ground chicken or beef

In this case, omit the vanilla and add salt to taste

Yield: 4-6 pastries.
