TWD/BWJ: rugelach

I had never eaten, seen or even heard of Rugelach before so when I saw we had to make them I decided to do a little research. Well... that's what I thought I would do but I didn’t do it in the end. Seriously, I had had the rugelach on my mind since TWD published that it was the first recipe for this month but I didn’t find the time. Then it was Sunday morning, I knew I couldn’t spend Monday baking so I had to do the recipe quickly and with not all the ingredients. So I ended up substituting the walnuts for the prunes lekuak with almonds and I only did one fourth of the recipe, after baking way too much last week I just couldn't eat 4 douzen rugelach (and I had no idea how they would turn out so I wasn't sure if I would want others to try something bad)




Now, this is why I love Tuesdays with Dorie (or any other online cooking group, really): you get to do things you wouldn’t even think of trying otherwise. And boy did I love this recipe. Raisin lovers this is your recipe!!! Soooo good, but you do need time as the dough has to rest.


I have no idea if the end result is like a Rugelach should be but I loved it!!, Seriously, try this. You can see the recipe in the book: Baking with Julia, in fact you should join the group! Also, you can find the recipe in the blog of this month's hosts: Margaret and Jessica


By the way, I joined pinterest, a great site! You can see my pins in here, it's perfect for keeping all the recipes you want to try at some stage!!!

  12. I totally wouldn't have tried this on my own either, but I'm glad I did, too! They really were tasty, and I love that you just used what you had on-hand. It's almost more fun that way because you're really making it your own!

    ResponderEliminar
  15. I don't own a processor or mixer, so I did everything by hand :)

  16. Oh yours look great! The recipe seems to be very forgiving as to what fillings you can substitute, and yours sounds yummy. Great job!

  26. I always find Julia Child's recipe quite difficult to make, maybe is just the impression when I see the list of ingredients, or because in most of the cases there is an ingredient not easy to find here in Peru.
    By the way, I never eat rugelach, in fact, it's the first time I see it. I have to add it to my to do's as look wonderful...!!!
