Description
Recipe for making flaky cruffins filled with sweet peach preserves.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1/2 cup peach preserves
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, mixing until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Wrap the dough and chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough thinly into a rectangle. Brush lightly with water and fold into thirds like a letter. Chill for 15 minutes.
- Repeat the rolling, brushing, and folding process two more times, chilling for 15 minutes between each set of folds. This creates layers.
- Roll the layered dough out thinly. Cut into strips about 1 inch wide.
- Gently twist each strip and press it into a greased muffin tin cavity, allowing the dough to spiral up the sides.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of peach preserves into the center of each dough spiral.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use very cold butter and water for the flakiest layers.
- If you do not have a muffin tin, you can shape these into crescent rolls instead.
