Ingredients

  • almond filling
  • 1/2 cup almond meal
  • 2/3 cup apricot jam
  • 2 ounces milk chocolate grated
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 lemon zested
  • pastry dough
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
  • 3 cups self rising flour sifted
  • granulated sugar to coat

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
  • To make the almond filling, combine all ingredients and mix until combined. Roll into small 64 small logs, cover and set aside.
  • To make the pastry dough, beat butter, heavy cream and vanilla sugar until creamy. Mix in flour until combined. Knead on a floured surface for 1-2 mins, until smooth and shiny. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 15 mins.
  • Roll dough out thinly on a floured surface into 8 - 9 inch discs. Cut each disc into 8 wedges. Place almond logs on wide ends of wedges. Carefully roll up towards points to enclose filling. Press down lightly to seal. Transfer to prepared trays and bake for 8-10 mins. While still hot, coat rolls in sugar then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
