Ingredients
- 200 grams Walnuts
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Ice water
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Directions
Step 1
1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
2. Coarsely chop the walnuts and place them in a dry skillet. Toast over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until fragrant, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool.
Step 3
3. In a bowl, combine the toasted walnuts, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Toss well and set the mixture aside.
Step 4
4. To make the pastry dough, sift the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar into a large mixing bowl. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 5
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and ice water. Gradually add this mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
6. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a flat disc. Wrap it in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Step 7
7. Once chilled, roll the dough out to a thickness of about 0.5 cm (1/4 inch). Using a round cookie cutter (about 7-8 cm in diameter), cut out circles. You may need to gather and re-roll the scraps to make additional circles.
Step 8
8. Place a spoonful of the walnut mixture in the center of each dough circle. Gently fold the edges up around the filling, pinching to seal and creating a small pouch shape.
Step 9
9. Arrange the filled pastry pouches on the prepared baking tray. Brush the tops lightly with milk to aid browning.
Step 10
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the pastry is cooked through.
Step 11
11. Once out of the oven, lightly drizzle the warm pastries with honey for added sweetness and shine.
Step 12
12. Allow the pastries to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Walnut Delights Koeka with a cup of tea or coffee!
