Delicious Walnut Cigarettes Pastry Recipe

In a large bowl, mix the softened unsalted butter with the sour cream until smooth. Add the egg yolk, baking powder, salt, and vanilla sugar, stirring to combine well.

Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.

In a separate bowl, finely chop the walnuts and combine them with the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Whisk the egg whites until frothy and fold them into the walnut mixture until well combined.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out pieces of the dough to a thin sheet. Cut into rectangular shapes, and place a spoonful of filling at one end. Roll the dough tightly to form a cigarette or crescent shape.

Make sure the filling is enclosed well by the dough to prevent it from leaking during baking.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Place the rolled pastries on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are well spaced apart.

Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown. Once baked, remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack.

Once cooled, the walnut cigarettes can be dusted with powdered sugar if desired. Serve them alongside your favorite tea or coffee for a delightful treat. Enjoy your homemade pastries! 🫶
