   vinegar) and yolks and mix well.  Add to flour and,
   with your hands, form into a ball and chill for 30

   pastry but keep triangle shape. Mix egg and milk (or
   cream or water) for an egg wash and brush it onto the
   turnovers. Place on greased cookie sheets.
   
   Bake in preheated 375F oven for 15 minutes until
   golden.  Serve warm or at room temperature.
