Method
Make the Pastry
- Combine dry ingredients into a large bowl.
- Add diced cold butter and mix with a pastry blender, fork or hands until the texture is crumbly like wet sand.
- Add cold water and knead until a dough forms. This should be like pie crust.
- Place in a pie tin and cover with wax paper. Refrigerate overnight.
Make the filling
- Grate the almond paste into a bowl.
- Add eggs, vanilla, and sugar. Mix well.
- Place in a pie tin, cover with wax paper. Refrigerate overnight.
Assemble the pastry rolls
- Cut almond paste and pie crust into 8 equal pie slices.
- Flour a clean surface and remove a 1/8 section of the dough. Roll out into a long rectangle.
- Cut a 1/8 section of the filling into 4th's. Place along one side of the pastry in a line.
- Roll the dough over the filling and seal the ends with water.
- Dock the dough with a fork on top.
- Repeat with the rest of the slices until you have 8 rolls.
- Mix 1 egg with a splash of water to make an egg wash. Brush on each roll.
- You can bake the rolls at this point in a 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Or you can freeze them to bake later.
