Ingredients

2 sticks salted butter
8 oz ricotta cheese
2 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1 egg
powdered sugar (optional)

Steps

Mix the butter, ricotta, and flour into a soft dough, then chill it for 30 minutes.
Heat the oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with cooking oil or parchment if available.
Roll the dough out, cut it into four squares, and cut toward each center corner without separating the pieces.
Place prune jam in each center, fold alternating corners over the jam, and brush the pastry with beaten egg.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until golden and the egg is firm, then cool for 10 minutes and dust with powdered sugar if using.
