2. Scoop a generous dollop of Fong Yit's Kaya spread onto the middle of the pastry sheet and fold the ends to sell it. You can use a fork to crimp the edges, so that the filling does not leak out.
3. Lightly beat an egg and glaze your pastry with the beaten egg. This will give the puff the additional crispiness and golden-brown look that most baked goods have.

4. Place your puffs in your preheated oven (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown.
And that's how you make Kaya Puffs (AKA Kaya Poks)! No tips or tricks — it's really that simple. If you're looking to indulge, you could even add a knob of butter in your kaya filling for a buttery and flaky pastry!
