Yield: 1 pan
Cuisine: Slovak
Ingredients: 500 g Flour; 1 packet Baking powder (12 g); 200 g Sugar; 250 g Butter; 1 Egg; 1–2 tbsp Sour cream; 200 g Ground walnuts; 200 g Sugar; 300 g Apricot jam; to taste Powdered sugar

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Mix the dough ingredients together, work into a dough, and let rest in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, mix the walnuts, sugar, and jam. Roll out two-thirds of the dough into a rectangle on a floured work surface.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet greased with butter and dusted with flour, then spread the filling over it. Roll out the remaining dough, cut into strips 2 cm wide, and arrange them over the filling.
Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (350 °F) for 35–40 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Tip: Bring the bottom layer of dough slightly up the sides of the pan to keep the jam filling from leaking out during baking. Cut the strips from chilled dough, as soft dough tears when transferred.
