Cooking instruction summary:
Procedures 1 Adjust oven racks to upper third and lower third positions and preheat oven to 400°F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. 2 Lightly dust the counter and rolling pin with flour. Roll out each puff pastry sheet to a 12-inch square. Cut each into quarters to make four 6-inch squares. 3 Beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup sour cream, lemon juice, and salt until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. 4 Place 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture in center of each square. Evenly distribute guava cubes among squares, arranging them on top of the cream cheese mixture. 5 In a small bowl, beat egg yolks and remaining 2 tablespoons sour cream. Brush edges of each square with egg wash, then, fold the squares diagonally to form triangles. Seal the edges by pressing them with the tines of a fork. Brush triangles with egg wash. 6 Place the pastelitos on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until puffed and golden, 12 to 15 minutes, alternating baking sheets halfway through baking. Transfer baking sheets to cooling racks. Cool pastelitos on sheets 5 to 10 minutes prior to serving. May be eaten at room temperature. Pastelitos are best eaten day they’re made.
