Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Chill the Dough

    Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Filling

    In a separate bowl, combine powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, chopped nuts, and rosewater. Mix until well combined.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 8

    Roll Out Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.

  3. 9

    Cut and Fill

    Cut the dough into squares or circles. Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each piece and fold over to form a pocket. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork.

  4. 10

    Bake

    Place the filled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden.

  5. 11

    Cool and Dust

    Allow the pastries to cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar and garnishing with edible rose petals if desired.
