Ingredients
- 360 grams all-purpose flour
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 120 ml sour cream
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 grams salt
- 150 grams apricot or plum jam
- 30 grams powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Step 2
Add the unsalted butter, cut into small chunks, to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Stir in the sour cream and egg yolk, mixing until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until manageable.
Step 4
Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape them into disks, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disk into a circle approximately 3mm thick. Use a knife or pizza cutter to divide the circle into 12 triangular wedges.
Step 7
Place a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of apricot or plum jam near the base of each triangle. Roll each wedge from the base to the tip to form a crescent shape.
Step 8
Repeat the rolling and filling process with the second dough disk.
Step 9
Arrange the crescents on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a small gap between each pastry.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are lightly golden around the edges.
Step 11
Allow the pastries to cool completely on a wire rack before dusting them generously with powdered sugar.
Step 12
Serve and enjoy your Hungarian pastries with a cup of tea or coffee!
