Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly flour a baking sheet.

  2. Roll puff pastry into a thin sheet on a floured surface. Cut into squares about the length of your hand and place on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. Beat egg and water together in a bowl, brush each pastry square with egg wash. Stab each square a few times with a fork.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool at least 10 minutes.

  5. Mix guava paste and jam together in a bowl until smooth.

  6. Cut a large, vertical slit into each pastry. Spread 1 tablespoon guava mixture into each slit, making sure guava doesn't squeeze out when closed.

Recipe Note

This is the recipe for traditional Cuban/Puerto Rican pastries that can only be found in some places. Our family goes crazy for them! Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired.
