1. Place the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into the work bowl
of a food processor fitted with the large, metal chopping blade.
Process to sift ingredients, about 10 seconds.
2. Add the butter and pulse together until mixture resembles a coarse
meal.
3. Stir the egg yolks and milk together and add gradually through the
feed tube, while pulsing until mixture comes together as a soft
dough ball.
4. Wrap dough ball in plastic wrap and allow to rest in the refrigerator
until ready to use. Dough can rest in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
5. When ready to prepare, roll the dough thin, about ⅛ inch thick,
into a large rectangle, about 18 x 16 inches. Using a 4½-inch round
mold or small plate, cut the dough into circles. Gather scraps, roll out
and cut circles until all dough is used.
6. Top each round with 2 tablespoons filling. Fold the circle in half to
enclose the filling, leaving some space between the filling and the
edge of the dough. Press edges to seal and crimp with a fork.
