Ingredients
Dough:
- 2 ½ cups flour
- A pinch of salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
- 7 tablespoons (½ cup + 2 tablespoons) butter, cold
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 1 egg yolk
Filling:
- 1 ⅔ cups nuts (your choice of walnuts, pecans, etc.)
- 1 egg white
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 5 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, vanilla sugar, and baking powder.
- Add the cold butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to create a crumbly texture.
- Add the sour cream and egg yolk to the mixture. Knead quickly with your hands until an elastic, non-sticky dough forms.
- Wrap the dough in cellophane and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
- Grind the nuts in a blender until they are finely chopped.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg white with the 2 tablespoons of sugar until it forms stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the chopped nuts into the egg white mixture to create a thick filling.
Step 3: Assemble the Nut Rolls
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.
- Roll each part into a thin circle and cut it into 8 triangles.
- Place a small amount of filling at the thick end of each triangle and roll it up towards the point.
- Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4: Bake and Coat
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- After baking, place 3-4 rolls in a cellophane bag with powdered sugar and shake gently to coat.
Your tender nut rolls are now ready to enjoy!
