PUFF PASTRY CHEESE POCKETS

Steps:

• Remove Pastry Dough sheets from the refrigerator and let them defrost at room temperature for 20-30 min.
• In the meantime, in a medium bowl, using a spatula, mix together the cheese , eggs and milk.
• Place the butter in a microwave safe bowl and melt.
• Add the butter to the mixture, using a spatula mix until well incorporated. Add the flour and continue mixing.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Position the Puff Pastry Dough sheets on a flat working surface and cut in squares (2-3 inches).
• Using a spoon, place the mixture (1-2 tbsp.) into the center of the squares. Make sure you have the same amount of squares without the filling, as they will be used to cover the other ones.
• After the cheese filling was distributed, take the remaining squares and place on top of the cheese filling, using your fingers to glues the two together, resulting in small cheese pockets.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 egg yolks and brush the top of the cheese pockets.
• Place in the oven and bake until golden, around 30 min.

WARENEKI

Steps:

• Combine all of the dough ingredients together to make a soft dough. Roll out thinly onto a floured board and cut into circles (I like to use a mason jar lid). Blend the filling mixture well and put enough filling to cover half of the circle but leave edges to seal the wareneki. Fold the other half over into a half moon shape then press the edges together with fingers or lightly with a fork. Boil the wareneki for about ten minutes - they will float when cooked. Serve with gravy or butter or after they're boiled you can fry the wareneki with onions and bacon and serve with sour cream (I like mine with ketchup).
