Instructions

  1. Mix the flour, salt and cold butter cut into cubes with your fingertips until you get a sandy texture.
  2. Add the egg, vinegar and crème fraîche, then work just enough to form a smooth dough. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  3. Mix the ground walnuts, sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, honey and rum or orange juice to make a moist but pliable filling.
  4. Roll the dough out into a very thin large rectangle on a floured surface, about 35 × 45 cm.
  5. Spread the walnut filling evenly over the dough, leaving a strip free along one long edge.
  6. Roll up tightly from the opposite side, then wrap the roll in a floured cloth or baking paper.
  7. Place the roll on a tray, brush with egg yolk mixed with milk and prick the surface with a fork.
  8. Bake at 180 °C for 35 minutes, until the pastry is golden. Let it cool slightly, then slice and dust with icing sugar.

Variations and tips

Apple version. Replace half the walnuts with grated apple and add a little cinnamon.

Using what's available here. Shop-bought puff pastry can replace homemade dough: roll it out thinly and follow the same filling and baking.
