My God, this looks so easy!! We live really close to Porto’s where I can get good pastelitos, but it’s nice to be able to make them at home. I’ll try it!!

this sounds like a great recipe! but fortunately I have a cuban bakery 1/2 mile from my house so it’s easier just to drive over and pick up a box full ;)

LSW,

Wow. White bread and a panini press? I totally understand the craving thing. Especially 6 months pregnant.

I feel like my work here is finished. ;-)

Besos,
Marta

Yoly,
You will be surprised at how easy it really is, but shh! don’t tell your secret. Let your sister praise you with great praise while you smile and say…”it was nothing.” =D

Besos,

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am 6 months pregnant & desperately craving pastelitos. Unfortunately I also live in a land of peanut butter & jelly & the closest cuban anything (other than my kitchen) is about 1 hour away. In my desperation I tried making really bad pastelitos de guayaba with white bread & a panini press the other night. They were subpar to say the least.

So thank you for this recipe, tomorrow night will be pastelito night!

Thank you for sharing this recipe. Like almost every latina love the pastelillos de guayaba. I’ve been afraid of puff pastry but you made it sound easy. I’m going to surprise my sister when she comes to visit with this recipe!
