Sour Cream & Dill Sauce to Serve With Salmon
By: echo echo
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter, chilled
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cold right out of the fridge
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- 1/4 cup sugar (or splenda)
- 1/2 cup toasted and chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon key lime zest
- 1 egg white, beaten
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
Directions
1
Cut butter into flour then mix it together until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and then "rub" into the flour/butter crumbs.2
Knead this mixture until it forms a ball.3
Separate the dough into two equal parts and wrap each part in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours (at least 4).4
To make fruit filling mix the raspberry jam together with sugar with the chopped toasted pecans and grated key lime peel.5
Pre heat oven to 350°F6
Once dough has chilled roll it out each half on a floured surface to about 9 or 10 inches. Then spread each dough circle with jam mixture.7
After you have spread the mixture of jam on the dough circles cut each circle out inot about 10-12 wedges. Then roll each wedge up tightly starting from the widest part of the dough.8
Put cookie rolls on a very lighty greased cookie sheet then brush the cookies with the egg whites and sprinkle with extra nuts. Then bake cookies for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned.9
Once cooled sprinkle powdered sugar over the cookies.

The taste of these was a definite 5-star! I really enjoyed the flaky pastry and the raspberry/pecan combination (I could not taste the lime). But, the instructions were a little problematic for me. The dough was too firm to work with after being refrigerated for 4 hours. Also, greasing the cookie sheets didn't prevent the cookies from sticking; I ended up with a nasty mess on my baking sheets. I checked a cookbook by Nick Malgieri whose ruglach dough recipe is identical, but his procedures were a little different: He suggests refrigerating the dough only as long as it takes to prepare the filling which would have made it easier to work with; and he suggests lining the baking sheets with parchment paper. I will try this yummy recipe again using Malgieri's methods which should solve my problems.

These were very easy and tasty! I like the addition of cream cheese (I used reduced-fat). I used sugar-free raspberry jam and Splenda (I only used 1/8 cup) I skipped the powdered sugar. These will be on my holiday list next year!

Review my Recipe 2008 ~ This is my second time making a rugalach and I just love them. The pastry comes out like a puff pastry, only it's less time consuming to make. For those of you who have never made rugalach before, I strongly suggest that you put them with the point down on the baking sheet so that they don't open up while cooking. These are really nice and actually not too sweet. I would probably add a bit of lime juice next time just to up the flavor a bit. Also used walnuts as I was out of pecans. Thanks Anme!

What a hidden gem these were! The pastry was oh-so-tender and literally melted in the mouth. Mixing in some lime zest into the raspberry jam was inspired, and the nuts gave a nice crunch. I think the flavour of the nuts could be improved by roasting them beforehand, and I didn't mix any extra sugar into the raspberry jam - did not miss it at all as these were still plenty sweet. The instructions are clear, concise and well-organized. Very, very nice.
