Ingredients

  • 250 grams All-purpose flour
  • 125 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
  • 50 grams Granulated sugar
  • 1 large Egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons Cold water
  • 150 grams Jam (any flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and cold water.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture while stirring with a fork. Mix until the dough comes together, being careful not to overwork it.

Step 6

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.

Step 7

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 30x20 cm (12x8 inches).

Step 8

Spread the jam evenly over the dough, leaving a small border (about 1 cm/0.5 inch) around the edges.

Step 9

Carefully roll the dough from the long side into a tight log. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for another 10 minutes to firm up.

Step 10

Remove the chilled log from the fridge and slice it into 1 cm (0.5-inch) thick rounds using a sharp knife.

Step 11

Arrange the rounds on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 cm (1 inch) of space between them.

Step 12

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

Step 13

Allow the swirls to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 14

Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
