Bake up these lovely raspberry ribbons the next time you’re looking for a sweet pastry to include on your holiday dessert platter.—Jane Ozment, Purcell, Oklahoma
Ingredients:
4-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon extract
filling:
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
confectioners' sugar
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups flour, brown sugar, yeast and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the butter, water and milk to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened.
2. Add eggs and extract; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3. For filling, combine the raspberries, walnuts, sugar and lemon peel; set aside. In a microwave, melt jam.
4. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll each portion into an 18-in. x 8-in. rectangle; spread each with jam and sprinkle with filling. Fold dough in half lengthwise; cut each rectangle into 12 strips. Twist strips at center; place on greased baking sheets.
5. Bake at 375° for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 2 dozen.
