Instructions

Step 1

Mix the softened butter with sour cream.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
Add the dry mixture to the butter mixture. Knead the dough, form it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.
Wash, dry, and halve the plums, removing the stones.
Divide the dough into 20 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball and then flatten on a floured surface into a thin circle or oval (depending on the plum). Place a plum half in the dough and wrap it, pinching the edges.

Step 2

For Coating:

Mix the sugar with cinnamon.
Dip the rounded side of each wrapped plum into vegetable oil, then into the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Place on a baking sheet.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 25 minutes. Let cool.

Variations

Here are some fantastic variations for our friends with dietary restrictions. 🌱

Gluten-Free Variation: Substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour mix. Ensure your baking powder is gluten-free as well. Your pastries will still be fluffy and delicious!

Vegan Variation: Replace the butter with a plant-based butter alternative and use coconut cream instead of sour cream. You'll get the same creamy texture and rich flavor without any animal products. 🥥

With these tweaks, everyone can enjoy these delightful plum pastries!

Faq

  • Why do I need to chill the dough?

    Chilling the dough helps it firm up, making it easier to handle and shape. It also helps develop the flavors.

  • Can I use frozen plums?

    Yes, you can use frozen plums. Just make sure to thaw and drain them well before using to avoid excess moisture.

  • How can I prevent the pastries from sticking to the baking sheet?

    Using parchment paper or a silicone baking mat works wonders for keeping the pastries from sticking.

  • Can I prepare the dough ahead of time?

    Absolutely. The dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just make sure it is well-wrapped.

  • Can I use other fruits instead of plums?

    Yes, you can get creative! Try using apples, cherries, or peaches. Just adjust the sugar depending on the sweetness of the fruit.

  • Any tips for making the dough extra tender?

    Use cold ingredients and minimally handle the dough. Over-mixing can make the pastries tough instead of tender.
