- Arrange the pastries on a baking sheet
- Brush the surface of each pastry with the egg yolk
- Bake in a preheated oven at a high temperature (approximately 200°C or 400°F)
- Bake until the pastries are golden brown and the dough is cooked through
- To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into one
- if it comes out clean and the pastry is baked, they are ready
