Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 2 3/4-3 cups sifted flour, divided
  • 1 (1/4 oz) package dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup lukewarm water
  • 3/4 cup cold milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped almonds
  • 2 1/2 tsp heavy cream

Directions:

  1. For the pastry:.
  2. Blend the butter and 1/4 cup of the flour together and set aside.
  3. Dissolve yeast in the lukewarm water; add 1 Tbsp sugar, and let stand for 5 minutes.
  4. Beat together the egg (reserve 1 Tbsp for topping), cold milk, 2 tbsp sugar, salt, and the yeast mixture.
  5. Blend in remaining flour to form a stiff dough.
  6. Chill in refrigerator for about 45 minutes,
  7. When 45 minutes have passed, on a lightly floured surface, roll out to a 12-inch square.
  8. Roll the flour/butter mixture between sheets of waxed paper to a 10x4-inch rectangle, remove wax paper, and place the mixture in the center of the dough.
  9. Fold each side of the dough over the flour/butter mixture; turn slightly and roll out again to a 12-inch square.
  10. Repeat the folding and rolling process two more times.
  11. Wrap the dough in waxed paper and chill for 30-60 minutes.
  12. For the filling:.
  13. Blend all ingredients together, using enough cream to form a spreadable consistency - not too firm that it crumbles when spread, but not to soupy either.
  14. Assembly:.
  15. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  16. Roll out chilled dough to a 24x12-inch rectangle, then cut lengthwise into two 24x6-inch strips.
  17. Spread each strip with filling, leaving at least 1/4 inch on all sides.
  18. Roll as a jelly roll, starting with the 24-inch edge.
  19. Moisten edges, seal, and stretch to about 30 inches.
  20. Place on a greased baking sheet.
  21. Shape into an oval or pretzel shape.
  22. Flatten to about 1/2-inch thickness.
  23. Brush with the reserved egg.
  24. Cover with a moist cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  25. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and delicious.
