Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 6 tablespoons Ice-cold water
• 8 ounces Guava paste
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Orange juice
• 1 unit Egg white

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and unsalted butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until a crumbly mixture forms.

Step 3

Gradually add in the ice-cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. It should not be sticky.

Step 4

Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to chill.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.

Step 6

Cut the dough into 4-inch squares using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

Step 7

In a small mixing bowl, combine the guava paste, sugar, and orange juice. Mix well to form a spreadable guava filling.

Step 8

Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling in the center of each dough square.

Step 9

Fold the squares in half diagonally to form triangles. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.

Step 10

Arrange the pastries on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Brush the tops of the pastries with lightly beaten egg white to create a golden, glossy finish when baked.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let the pastries cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your homemade low sodium guava pastries!
