Traditional plum strudel

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Strudel is the pride of Hungarian cuisine, though its origins date back to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The filling hidden between thin, membrane-like pastry sheets and fat brushed between layers creates a flaky, crunchy miracle when baked. The acidity of plum and warmth of cinnamon is a classic autumn pairing.

Instructions

1 ✓

Wash plums, stone and quarter them. Mix with sugar and cinnamon.

Tip: Sugar immediately starts drawing water from fruit, so mix just before filling, or let stand and pour off juice.
2 ✓

Dampen a tea towel and spread it out. Lay a pastry sheet on it, brush thinly with oil. Place 3 more sheets on top, brushing each.

Tip: Oil layer separates sheets, so they bake into crispy layers instead of forming a block. (Flaky structure)
3 ✓

Sprinkle bottom third of dough with half the breadcrumbs, then pile on half the plums.

Tip: Crumbs 'insulate' the dough from fruit juice.
4 ✓

Fold in sides, and use tea towel to roll up tightly. Repeat with remaining ingredients (makes two rolls).

Tip: Tea towel helps lift and roll thin pastry evenly without tearing.
5 ✓

Place on baking tray lined with baking paper, brush tops generously with oil/butter, and bake at 190°C for approx. 25-30 mins, until golden brown.

Tip: Fat on top helps browning and prevents drying out.

Recipe FAQ

The bottom got soggy.
The plums released too much juice, or there weren't enough crumbs. Breadcrumbs (or crushed biscuits) absorb moisture.
It cracked during baking.
You rolled it too tight, or didn't brush enough fat between sheets, so they dried out and broke.
