Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 ounces cold cream cheese, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
3 tablespoons cold water
filling:
1-1/4 cups finely chopped peeled mangoes
1/2 cup guava jelly
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons water
2 teaspoons sugar
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt; cut in cream cheese and butter until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough is moistened. Knead in bowl until a ball forms; flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until easy to handle.
2. In a small bowl, combine the mangoes, jelly, mint and lemon peel; set aside. In a small bowl, whisk egg and water.
3. On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-in. thickness; cut into 4-in. circles. Spoon 2 teaspoons mango mixture into the center of each circle. Brush edges with water; fold dough over filling and seal with a fork. Brush with egg mixture; sprinkle with sugar.
4. Place on foil-lined baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 20-23 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2 dozen.
