Directions
-
In a bowl, combine the sugar (150 g) and milk (80 ml). Heat the mixture until the sugar dissolves, then set it aside to cool slightly.
-
In a separate bowl, mix the butter (100 g), salt (a pinch), vanilla sugar (1 tsp), and egg (1 piece) until smooth. Gradually add the cooled sugar mixture, followed by the flour (400 g) and baking powder (1 tsp). Mix until a soft dough forms. Cover the dough and let it rest for 20–30 minutes.
-
Roll the dough out on a floured surface to a uniform thickness. Use a round cutter (about 9 cm in diameter) to cut circles from the dough. Cut each circle in half and arrange the pieces as desired (e.g., layered or folded).
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk (1 piece), milk (1 tsp), and cocoa powder (1 tsp) to create a topping mixture. Brush the topping onto the prepared pastries. Use a knife to gently score a decorative pattern on top. Bake the pastries in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10–15 minutes, or until golden.
-
Allow the pastries to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade chocolate-filled pastry treats!
