👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Keeping the butter cold is crucial for flaky pastry. - 2
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sour cream/yogurt. Add this to the flour mixture and mix until just combined, forming a dough. Do not overmix.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: The dough should come together but still be slightly crumbly. - 3
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Chilling the dough makes it easier to handle and roll. - 4
While the dough chills, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled cheese, ground walnuts, granulated sugar, and lemon zest. Mix well.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Ensure the walnuts are finely ground for a smoother filling. - 5
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Preheating ensures even baking. - 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rectangle, about 3-4 mm thick. Spread the cheese and walnut filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Try to spread the filling as uniformly as possible. - 7
Carefully roll up the dough from the long side to form a log. Slice the log into 2-3 cm thick rolls.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Use a sharp knife to get clean slices. - 8
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheets. Brush the tops with lightly beaten egg white.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Egg white gives a nice sheen to the pastry. - 9
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. - 10
Let cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack. Dust generously with powdered sugar once cooled.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Dusting with powdered sugar while slightly warm helps it adhere better.
