Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 4 tablespoons Ice-cold water
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 250 grams Sweetcorn kernels (fresh or canned, drained)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 piece Egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour and use your fingertips to rub it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Slowly add the ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until a dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 4

Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough chills, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 7

Add the sweetcorn kernels to the skillet and sauté for 3–4 minutes. Mix in the fresh parsley, ground black pepper, and a pinch of salt, then let the mixture cool.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 10

Cut the dough into 6 equal squares or circles, depending on your preference.

Step 11

Place a spoonful of the sweetcorn-garlic mixture in the center of each square or circle.

Step 12

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching them together to seal and form a crust pocket.

Step 13

Brush each crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 14

Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and flaky.

Step 15

Let the pastries cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
