Method

1. Sprinkle a little flour on a clean surface or kitchen marble, place the puff pastry and roll it with a rolling pin until you get a rectangle
2. Cut it with a ruler into medium-sized squares
3. Put a small amount of cheese in the center of each square and a small sprinkle of sugar
4. Beat the egg with 1/4 cup of water and a dash of vanilla, then roll the square into a cylinder and seal the edge with the egg-and-water mixture
5. Roll all the squares until they're finished, resulting in cylinders or roll-like shapes
6. Arrange the cylinders on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and brush them with the egg mixture, then sprinkle a little sugar on top
7. Preheat the oven to 180°C and place the tray inside
8. Place a second sheet of puff pastry on a clean surface, cut it into small squares without rolling them thinner, arrange the pieces on a tray lined with parchment, and put them in the oven as well
9. Leave the trays in the oven for about 25 minutes or until golden
   Timers: 25 min
10. Remove the cylinders from the oven and brush them with a little simple syrup
11. Remove the squares from the oven and fill them with jam using a piping bag—or cut them open from the side with a knife and spoon in a little jam—then dust the tops with powdered sugar
