Instructions

Step 1

Making the Dough

Combine the *flour*, *baking powder*, and *butter* together until you achieve a uniform consistency. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes of mixing. Add the *sour cream* and a *pinch of salt* to the mixture and knead until you have a smooth dough.

Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for approximately *20 minutes*.

Step 2

Preparing the Filling

While the dough is chilling, prepare the *filling*. Finely chop or grind the *walnuts* and mix them thoroughly with the *sugar* and *egg white*.

Step 3

Assembling the Rolls

Preheat your oven to *180°C (350°F)*. Roll out the chilled dough into a thin sheet. Cut it into small rectangles or desired shapes.

Place a small amount of filling in the center of each dough piece and roll them up into small cylinders.

Step 4

Baking the Rolls

Faq

  • What's the best way to ensure my dough is flaky?

    Keep your ingredients cold, especially the butter. Chill the dough if it starts getting too warm while working with it.

  • Can I use other nuts for the filling?

    Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts for different flavors.

    Keep a close eye on your pastries during the last few minutes of baking. Every oven varies, so they might bake faster or slower than the recipe indicates.

  • Why is my dough so sticky?
