Preparation Steps

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
• Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Gradually add the milk, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
• For the filling: In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a rectangle.
• Spread the cream cheese filling over the dough.
• Fold the dough in half or roll up and cut into individual pastries.
• Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush with egg wash.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
