Ingredients

Servings

• 3 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg
• For the filling:
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
3. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a rectangle. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, butter, and ground cinnamon to make the filling.
6. Roll out one portion of the dough into a large rectangle. Spread half of the filling evenly over the dough.
7. Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
8. Cut each log into 1-inch (5 cm) slices and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Allow the pastries to cool on a wire rack before serving.
