Step-by-Step Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Pastry Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, milk, and sweetener until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Create the Creamy Filling
In another bowl, mix the cream cheese, vanilla sugar, sweetener, cornstarch, and egg.
Whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Set aside while preparing the pastry dough.
Assemble the Pastry Squares
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ½ cm (¼ inch) thickness.
Cut the dough into equal-sized squares.
Place a spoonful of cream filling in the center of half of the squares.
Cover with the remaining squares, gently pressing the edges to seal.
Baking to Golden Perfection
Transfer the pastry squares to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Final Touch
Dust generously with powdered sugar using a fine-mesh sieve.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
