Strudel Sticks Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + chilling Bake: 25 min.

Yield: 20 Servings

30 25 55

Ingredients

1 cup cold butter, cubed
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sour cream
1 egg, separated
1 cup peach or apricot preserves, divided
30 vanilla wafers, crushed
1/2 cup flaked coconut
20 pecan halves
GLAZE:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 to 3 teaspoons 2% milk

Directions

In a large bowl, cut butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine sour cream and egg yolk; add to flour mixture, stirring with a fork to form a soft dough. Divide in half; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
On a floured surface, roll each portion of dough into a 12-in. square. Spread with preserves. Combine crushed wafers and coconut; sprinkle over preserves.
Roll up jelly-roll style; seal seam. Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet. Cut widthwise with a sharp knife three-fourths of the way through dough every 1 in. Beat egg white until foamy; brush over pastry. Place a pecan half on each slice.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Combine the confectioner's sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve desired consistence; drizzle over pastries. Yield: 2 pastries (10 serving each).
