In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add cold water and mix until the dough forms. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Make the Fillings:
Fruit Compote: In a saucepan, cook berries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat until softened. Let cool.
Creamy Custard: Heat milk in a saucepan. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch, sugar, and egg yolk. Gradually whisk hot milk into the mixture, return to the saucepan, and cook until thickened. Add vanilla and let cool.
Chocolate Ganache: Heat cream in a small pot until just simmering. Pour over chopped chocolate and stir until smooth.
Assemble the Desserts:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough and cut into squares or circles.
Spoon a small amount of the desired filling onto each piece of dough. Fold and seal the edges to form a pocket.
Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these flaky, flavorful treats with tea or coffee.
