Delectable Pastry ### Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
Your favorite filling (fruit preserves, chocolate, or cream cheese)
1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add the chilled and diced butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into your desired shapes (triangles or circles work well).
Place a spoonful of your favorite filling in the center of each piece of dough.
Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
