Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 250g
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar 50g
  • 1/4 heaping teaspoon table salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter very cold and cut into 16 pieces (226g)
  • 6 ounces cream cheese very cold and cut into 16 pieces (170g)
  • 1/3 cup sour cream 80g

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). This will ensure that the oven is hot enough to bake the rugelach evenly.
  • Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. This makes it easy to mix all of the dry ingredients together evenly.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the rugelach tough.
  • Divide the dough into two halves and wrap each half in plastic wrap. This will help to prevent the dough from drying out.
  • Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the dough to relax and make it easier to work with.
  • Enjoy!
