Prepare the pastry dough by mixing all-purpose flour, corn starch, sugar, and salt in a bowl.

Cut in the cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add ice cold water gradually, mixing until the dough comes together.

Roll out the pastry dough on a floured surface until thin.

Cut the pastry into squares, about 4x4 inches.

Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown.
