Cut butter into small pieces. Place flour into large bowl and cut in butter with a pastry blender. in a separate bowl, beat the egg yolk and water together. Add egg mixture gradually to the flour and mix until dough forms a ball. divide the dough in half for easier handling, and turn onto a lightly floured board. Roll out thin. cut into 7-in. circles. Re-roll scrapes of dough. Fill each circle of dough with about 3 T. of filling. Fold circles in half over filling, and pinch edges to seal. Flute edges as for a pie crust. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Brush tops with egg white, and bake in 400° oven until golden or about 20 minutes.
