Instructions

1

Prepare the dough. Put the cream cheese, butter, flour and salt in a food processor. Pulse several times to break up the cheese and butter then blend continuously until it just comes together. Try not to overwork the dough.

2

Divide in half and flatten into two discs. Wrap in wax paper and refrigerate for at least two hours and up to 12.

3

When ready to fill, remove the discs and let them warm a little. The dough will be wet so be sure to dust your surface well with extra flour.

4

One at a time, roll out the discs into a 9 inch circle. Mix together filling one ingredients - jam, bitters, nuts and sugar then spread the mixture across the middle of one disc, within an inch of the edge. Repeat with filling two ingredients.

5

Using a pizza cutter, cut the circle into quarters. Then cut each quarter in half and each of those triangles in half, making 16 triangles total.

6

Starting at the wider edge, roll triangles towards the center and place onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment. Repeat with the remaining triangles then put all of the prepared rugelach into the fridge and chill for at least 30 minutes.

7

Preheat the oven to 350F. Whisk the egg and water in a small bowl and brush each pastry with the egg wash, then sprinkle extra sugar on top.

8

Put the pans in to bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown (you may wish to rotate your pans halfway through if your oven temp varies). Remove from the oven, let cool and Enjoy!

Baker Tip: Pastry discs can be cut into 12 triangles for slightly larger rugelach.
