Oldfashioned Fruit Rollup Pastry Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Sift 3 cups of flour into a large mixing bowl and form a volcano (make a crater)
  • Pour buttermilk into crater
  • Add beaten eggs
  • Combine baking soda and vinegar in a spoon until foamy. Pour foaming liquid into the volcano
  • Add butter
  • Mix all together until smooth.
  • Add flour in batches until soft, non-sticky dough forms.
  • Shape dough into a ball, cover with plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour at least (better overnight, but not mandatory)
  • -
  • Chop up all your favorite filling ingredients.
  • -
  • Melt butter, and keep butter, sugar and cinnamon handy.
  • -
  • Divide dough into 3-4 parts.
  • Roll the dough out into very thin crust (1/8 inch), taking care not to tear. Dough should be very elastic and easily patched if torn.
  • Crust should be quite large - about 24 by 18 inches or so.
  • Using a brush, spread butter all over the crust.
  • Put filling along the long edge closest to you - it should be about 1-1/2 to 2 inches wide.
  • Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the filling.
  • Roll the crust up starting with filling edge.
  • Roll it all the way up to the other edge, forming a long and thick roll.
  • Transfer the roll onto a greased and floured baking sheet. The roll will be much longer than the sheet, so you can fold it in any manner you like - make a loose swirl, or bend it in half. Most importantly, leave some breathing room between the edges of the roll, so they don't touch.
  • Spread beaten egg over the top of the roll.
  • Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Bake in 325-350 degree oven for about 45-50 minutes, until gorgeously golden and fruit is bubbly.
  • -
  • Cool off completely or until manageable.
  • Optionally, dust lightly with powdered sugar.
  • -
  • Using a serrated knife, slice the pastry in a slightly slanted manner into pieces about 2 inches thick.
  • Enjoy!
