Instant Yeast 1 teaspoon
Salt 1/2 teaspoon
Cold Water 1/4 cup

Granulated Sugar 1/2 cup

Take note
Be careful not to overfill the pastries, as they may leak while baking. Also, remember to let them cool slightly before enjoying, as the caramelized sugar can be very hot.

1

Prepare the dough

In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of instant yeast, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 cup of cold water. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Shape it into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 1 hour.

2

Make the butter-sugar mixture

In another bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Set aside.

3

Roll out the dough

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Spread the butter-sugar mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.

4

Fold and shape the pastries

Fold one-third of the dough towards the center, then fold the other third over the top. Press down gently to seal the edges. Cut the dough into small squares or circles, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5

Let the pastries rise

Cover the pastries with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for 30 minutes to an hour, or until they have doubled in size.

6

Bake and enjoy

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pastries for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
