Preheat oven to 200°C. Unroll pastry on parchment paper. Place filling in center, leaving a 3 cm border. Shape (foldover, pie, or turnover) and seal edges well.

Beat egg yolk with milk. Brush pastry. Make 3-4 small slits in the center.

Bake for 20-25 min until golden. Let cool on a rack for 5 min before serving.
- Cool the filling before wrapping to avoid making the pastry soggy.
- For a perfect seal, slightly moisten the edges before pinching them together.
- Add milk to the egg wash for an amber color; egg alone gives a too-dark gold.
- A well-preheated oven is essential for optimal puffing.
