Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and cold, cubed unsalted butter.

Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, incorporate the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice-cold water and gently mix until a dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

In the meantime, hard boil 2 of the eggs. Once cooked, peel and chop them into small pieces.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 8

On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rectangular sheet about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 9

Cut the dough into 6 equal squares using a sharp knife.

Step 10

Place a spoonful of the egg and cream cheese mixture in the center of each square.

Step 11

Beat the remaining egg with the milk and brush the edges of the dough squares with this mixture.

Step 12

Fold each square into a triangle and press the edges gently with a fork to seal.

Step 13

Transfer the pastries to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 14

Brush the tops with the remaining melted unsalted butter.
