  3. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Place one square of dough on the parchment, the filling will go in the middle.

  11. Mix pudding powder with 6 tbsp milk; bring remaining milk and sugar to a boil, add pudding powder and bring it again to a boil.
  12. On the middle of each pastry place pudding and on top add 1 tbsp of cherries.
  13. Mix egg yolk with heavy cream and brush it on the dough.
  14. Bake in pre-heated oven for 15-20 minutes on  375 F.
  15. Let them cool off then dust them with powdered sugar.
