Ingredients for 12 guava pies:
- 1 shortcrust pastry or shortbread according to your preference
- 1 guava jam (no guava jelly, do not confuse!)
- 1 egg
- Semi-skimmed milk
Preparation
- Open the wrapper for the dough and let it thaw if it was stored in the freezer.
- Once softened, spread it out on the table using a rolling pin.
- Using a cookie cutter, make disks of about 10 cm.
- In two different bowls, keep on one side the egg yolk to which you will add 3 tablespoons of milk then stir, on the other the egg white.
- Take a teaspoon of guava jam and spread it over all the pre-cut circles without touching the edges.
- Using a brush, coat the edges finely with egg white so that it can facilitate the glue effect.
- Close the pâtés by folding it back on itself so as to obtain a half moon.
- Once closed, with the help of the brush, pass the egg yolk and milk mixture which will allow the gilding.
- Preheat the oven to around 180°C (thermostat 6).
- Once the oven is hot, stuff your pâtés on parchment paper placed on a tray in the oven.
- Leave to cook for about twenty minutes.
- Once browned, remove your pâtés from the oven and let cool for about 1/4 hour.
- Once cooled, you can enjoy your pâtés.
