Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

Shape the Pastry
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a floured surface, turn the dough out and knead gently. Shape into desired forms (e.g., rounds, squares, or twists).

Bake
Place the shaped pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Prepare the Cream Cheese
While the pastries are baking, soften the cream cheese at room temperature for easier spreading.

Serve
Once pastries are done baking, let them cool slightly. Serve warm with cream cheese, preserves, and butter on the side.
