Honey Viennese Whirls

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, confectioner's sugar, and flaky sea salt.

3. 3

   Add the melted butter and mix until the dough comes together.

4. 4

   Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.

5. 5

   On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 3 mm.

6. 6

   Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.

7. 7

   Using your thumbs, make a small indentation in the center of each ball and place a spoonful of the honey-almond cream in the center.

   Tip: This will help the whirls to swirl nicely.

8. 8

   Fold the dough over the filling to form a whirl, pressing the edges together to seal.

   Tip: Use a fork to crimp the edges if desired.

9. 9

   Place the whirls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 cm of space between each whirl.

10. 10

    Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the whirls are golden brown.

11. 11

    Allow the whirls to cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.
