How To Make schnecken
-
1Mix sour cream, vanilla, and egg yolks together.Cut butter into flour until well combined, it should be crumbly.Add wet ingredients into flour mixture. A dough hook on a stand mixer is perfect for this step. Mix only until a ball forms, it will be sticky. Form a log shape, wrap and refrigerate overnight.
-
2When ready to bake, beat egg whites with cream of tartar and sugar until stiff peaks form.Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice dough into 15 to 20 pieces.
-
3Dust surface with powdered sugar and roll out dough portion into a very thin circle. Spread with about 1/4 cup of the beaten egg whites. Sprinkle with cinnamon and powdered sugar. Cut into eight wedges
-
4Roll each wedge, wide side in like a crescent roll. Roll them loosely. If you roll them too tight they get cakey, you want a flaky result. Place them on a cookie sheet, they can be close (about 1/2 inch apart) as they don't spread much, but not touching.
-
5Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove immediately and cool on a wire rack. If you leave them on the cookie sheet too long, you'll need a hammer and chisel to get them off. Cool completely and dust with more powdered sugar.
