Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Mix the flour with the yeast and sugar, rub in the cold butter, then quickly knead into a smooth dough with the sour cream. Wrap in plastic and rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- For the filling, rub the soft butter together with the flour, icing sugar and vanilla sugar into a sandy crumb.
- Divide the dough into three, and roll each piece into a rectangle about 20x40 cm.
- Sprinkle a third of the filling evenly over each, leaving a 1 cm border, and roll up tightly from the long side.
- Flatten the roll slightly, brush with egg yolk, mark stripes with a fork, and cut into 3 cm diagonal pieces.
- Bake on a lined tray at 180 °C for 25-30 minutes until golden. Cool on a rack.
