🍰 Desserts

Cream-cheese dough rolled with cinnamon-walnut sugar, the Jewish bakery crescent. Rustic, crisp-edged and comforting — the dessert that empties the table quietly. Serve warm with cream, custard or a scoop of ice cream.

Ingredients

Butter1/2 cup, cold
Salt1/2 tsp
All-Purpose Flour2 cups
Sugar2 tbsp
Cream Cheese2 cups, chopped
Ground Cinnamon1 tsp
Walnuts1 cup, chopped
Brown Sugar1/2 cup

Instructions

1
Keep everything cold — the butter, the water, even the bowl — that is the whole secret of pastry.
2
Cut the cold butter through the flour, drizzle in ice water, and gather the dough without kneading.
3
Chill the wrapped dough thirty minutes to an hour while you prepare the cream cheese.
4
Layer in the cream cheese with the walnuts so every slice gets a full cross-section.
5
Bake at 190 C / 375 F for 35-45 minutes until deeply golden and bubbling; cool before slicing so the filling sets.

Chef's tip

Weigh your flour if you can; cup measures can be off by twenty percent either way.
