Ingredients

• 250 g all-purpose flour
• 200 g unsalted butter (cold)
• 1 tsp salt
• 125 ml water (cold)
• 100 g dark chocolate
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp milk
• 2 tbsp icing sugar

Directions

Step 1

Sift the all-purpose flour and salt into a large bowl.

Step 2

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and rub it into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the cold water, mixing with a fork or your hands, until a dough begins to form. Be sure not to overwork the dough.

Step 4

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Once chilled, roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 15 cm x 25 cm.

Step 6

Fold the top third of the dough down towards the center, and then fold the bottom third over the top to form a square. Rotate the dough 90 degrees.

Step 7

Repeat the rolling and folding process three more times, chilling the dough for 15 minutes between each roll, if necessary.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 9

Roll out the pastry to a thickness of about 3 mm and cut it into 8 cm squares.

Step 10

Place a few pieces of dark chocolate in the center of each square.

Step 11

Fold each square over the chocolate diagonally to form triangles and press the edges to seal.

Step 12

Arrange the chocolate-filled triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 13

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash.

Step 14

Brush each pastry with the egg wash, and then sprinkle with icing sugar.

Step 15

Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden and puffed.

Step 16

Let the pastries cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
