# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Preheat oven to 190°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking powder. Incorporate cold butter by rubbing it into the flour until mixture forms coarse crumbs.
03 - Stir in sour cream until a cohesive dough forms. Wrap in plastic film and refrigerate for 20 minutes to chill.
04 - Whisk eggs and milk together, then cook over medium heat, stirring to scramble softly. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool slightly.
05 - Roll dough on a floured surface to 0.6 cm thickness. Cut into 13 cm squares. Place a spoonful of scrambled eggs, a sprinkle of cheddar, and crumbled bacon or sausage onto each square.
06 - Fold dough over fillings to form pockets and press edges with a fork to seal. Brush each with beaten egg to glaze.
07 - Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until pockets are golden brown. Let rest a few minutes before serving.
