Ingredients
Instructions
- Warm the water and dissolve the yeast into it slowly, letting it rest for about five minutes.
- Combine the flour, 1/4 cup of sugar and the salt, then warm a cup of butter and pour it in. To it, add the heavy cream, the eggs, yeast and currants. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill for a couple of hours.
- Remove and divide the dough into six parts onto a floured surface. Roll each one into a rectangle about 10 inches by 6 inches.
- To make the filling just add the 6 tablespoons of heavy cream to a 1/2 cup of warmed butter, then fold in the brown sugar. Stir in the pecans well.
- Spread the filling onto each dough rectangle and roll them up, then pinch the ends to seal. If you want to add a little decorative appearance, curve the dough into a crescent shape. Make a few shallow slices through the dough skin along the length of the roll. Let the dough rise for about 45 minutes.
- Bake at 350°F / 175°C for about 20 minutes. Monitor them to see that the surface is a golden brown, but the pinched edges are not too dark.
Notes
Store the cereal in the fridge for up to a week.
Use no-stick cooking spray to coat the baking sheet -faster, but without the taste of butter.
Instead of serving the cereal with fresh apple, add 1 cup chopped dried apple slices to the cereal at the same time you add the nuts.
