I made pastelitos de guayaba. (guava pastries)
I had to.
It has been about 6 weeks (6 weeks, people!!) since we’ve had them.
(since our road trip to Porto’s in Glendale – see album to the left)
And I would have to travel through quite a few area codes to get good ones.
So I broke down and baked.
And being a bit greedy for guava, I think I put too much guava paste into them. I made 12 with just guava and 12 with guava and cream cheese – "refugiados."
And they kind of exploded (or maybe they were supposed to?)
My mom declared them to be "feo." (ugly)
I guess I’ll just have to save myself some embarrassment…
and hide them. 😉
Pastelitos de guayaba? No need to hide them. A Cubanita in Central New Jersey will *gladly* take them off your hands. 🙂
You post that photo and no recipe? Chica! I’ve had a can of pasta de guayaba sitting in my pantry for three years now. I haven’t known what to do with it. I see this photo and my mouth waters and I *have* to have pastelitos de guayaba! Recipe, por favor!
You can ship them to me. I can hide them very well!
Can I just say . . . WOW!!!AY QUE RICO!!
I’m SOOOO glad I got a chance to stop by before they were all gone. You will have to invite me over for a baking lesson next time!
Gracias Mami!
Um, helloooooo! Receta, por favor. No son feo! They are lovely and if they delivered cream cheese and guava to your palate on flaky dough, they are just right.
you MADE pastelitos? May I have the recipe? I’m living in Michigan, and i miss Miami and the cuban food. I mastered picadillo, papa rellenas, croquetas, and pollo empanisado. I’m seriously dying to learn to make pastelitos. Pretty Please? Thx a million
