Method
- Mix the flour with the baking powder, sugar and salt and add the cold diced butter; rub it in with your fingertips until it looks like coarse sand.
- Add the yoghurt and bring the dough together without overworking it.
- Roll it into a rectangle, fold it in three like a letter and repeat the rolling and folding twice more. Chill for 30 min.
- Roll the dough out thinly, cut into triangles and put a teaspoon of chocolate spread at the base of each one.
- Roll up from the base, brush with egg and bake at 200 °C for about 20 min, until golden.
