Honey, Cinnamon and Walnut Rugelach (Rogaliki)
Honey, Cinnamon and Walnut Rugelach (Rogaliki) Cinnamon flavoured walnuts drenched in honey and wrapped in flaky sour cream pastry.
Ingredients
Ingredients for the dough
- 3 cups/350g flour plus extra for rolling
- 1 cup/250ml sour Cream full fat
- ¾ cup/150gr butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
Ingredients for the filling:
- 1 ½ cups/190g walnuts chopped
- 1 cup/200g sugar
- ¼ cup/60ml honey
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 egg for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F/180C and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whip your softened butter together with sour cream and vanilla in a large bowl. Add flour in small portions and continue mixing. Empty the contents of the bowl on floured surface and continue kneading until you have smooth and pliable dough adding a bit more flour if sticky. Cover and let sit for 10 min.
- While your dough is resting chop the walnuts finely or process them in a food processor, mix with sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Make sure your honey is spreadable, heat if needed to achieve the right consistency.
- Divide your dough into 4 parts and rolls out each individually into a circle. The dough shouldn't be thicker than 1 cm. Brush honey on it and divide into 8 or 16 even triangles.
- Now sprinkle ¼ of the nut/cinnamon mixture on your circle. Roll up each triangle starting from the wide end towards the centre of the circle.
- Arrange the cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet, brush them with the egg wash and bake them for 25-30 minutes.
