Raisins, walnuts, pecans, almonds, and honey cozy up in a rich, buttery pastry roll. Great served with coffee and covered in berries and whipped cream. Plan a little ahead, as this must chill for a couple hours. Adapted from Chef2Chef.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons cold water
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup raisins
1/3 cup chopped almonds
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, cut the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or 2 forks, stir in sugar.
2. Create a well in the center, add the egg yolks and stir to form a paste.
3. Stir in the salt, cinnamon and water and form into a ball.
4. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
5. On a floured work surface, roll out the refrigerated pastry into a rectangular shape about 1/4-inch thick.
6. Spread the honey on top, then sprinkle with raisins, almonds, pecans and walnuts.
7. Beginning at the long end, carefully roll up the pastry; shape the log into a circular wreath to fit into a 6-cup round baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray.
8. Set the dish in the slow cooker, and cook on High for 3 or 4 hours, or until golden brown. Carefully lift out baking dish and serve hot or lukewarm. Enjoy!
