Ingredients
Dough:
2 ½ cups flour
⅓ cup sugar
1 tbsp. instant yeast
1 pinch of salt
3.5 tbsp. soft butter
1 egg
⅔ cup warm milk
Topping:
1 cup flour
1 stick cold butter
½ cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla sugar or vanilla extract
6 oz. red currant jam or your favorite jam
Glaze:
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
3 – 4 tbsp. lemon juice
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 350 F.
Combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl.
Heat the milk and melt the butter in it, then add to the bowl along with the egg. Knead for about 5 min.
Place in a floured bowl to rise for about 20 min.
For the streusel, cube the cold butter and knead with flour, sugar, and vanilla until crumbles form.
Divide the risen dough into 8 pieces, form balls, and let rest for 5 min.
Roll each ball into a 5 to 6-inch diameter disc, place on a baking sheet, spread with jam, and top with streusel.
Let rise for 15 – 20 min, then bake for 10 – 14 min.
Cool on a wire rack. Mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice to make the glaze and apply to pastries.
