Yield 3 slices, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups flour
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup butter, softened
jam, any flavor will do. (we like apricot or raspberry.)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 -2 teaspoon milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350º.
  • Put the flour, sour cream and butter in a large zip lock bag. Mix until combined. Let sit in the refrigerator overnight, or put in the freezer for 1 ½ hours.
  • After the dough is well chilled, divide into four parts.
  • Flour work surface.
  • Take one part and roll into a fat snake like shape with hands.
  • Then with a rolling pin, roll into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Spread jam evenly onto dough, leaving an small edge without jam.
  • Roll up like a jelly roll.
  • Press seams together and seal.
  • Lay seam side down on a cookie sheet.
  • With a sharp knife, cut slits across the strudel in a diagonal pattern.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • To make icing, combine the powdered sugar and milk. You want it to be thick.
  • While strudel is still warm, drizzle powdered sugar mixture over strudel.
  • Cut into bite size servings to serve.
  • Feel free to add nuts with the jam.
