Jam Horns - A simple and delicious recipe for a quick dessert Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 25 minutes Total time: 45 minutes Number of servings: 24 horns If you're looking for a quick dessert recipe that will impress, jam horns are the perfect choice. These little treats, tender and fragrant, are ideal for any occasion, from a simple snack to a party. Plus, they are easy to make and can be filled with various ingredients, making them very versatile. Necessary ingredients: - 2 cups of flour (approximately 250 g) - 1/2 cup of lard (125 g) or butter - 1 whole egg - 2-3 tablespoons of sour cream (for a richer texture) - 1 packet of vanilla sugar - 200 g powdered sugar (to sprinkle over the horns) - Jam (you can use any preferred type, but the best are plum or apricot jam) Filling suggestions: To add a personal touch, you can replace the jam with diced Turkish delight, roasted walnut kernels, or a mixture of plum jam with ground walnuts. These options will give you a unique taste and help you personalize your dessert. Step-by-step instructions: 1. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, add the flour, lard (or butter) cut into cubes, vanilla sugar, the whole egg, and sour cream. Use a fork or a hand mixer to combine the ingredients. Mix until you obtain a homogeneous and sticky composition. If the dough seems too soft, you can add a little flour. 2. Kneading: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for a few minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. Take this step patiently, as good kneading will ensure a perfect texture for the horns. 3. Rolling out the dough: Divide the dough into 4-6 pieces, depending on how large you want the horns to be. Use a rolling pin to roll each piece into a thin sheet, about 3 mm thick. 4. Shaping the horns: Cut each sheet into triangles (you can use a knife or a pizza cutter). Place 1-2 teaspoons of jam at the tip of each triangle. Roll the horns from the base of the triangle to the tip, forming a croissant shape. Make sure the filling is well sealed inside so it doesn’t leak during baking. 5. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the horns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between them. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden. 6. Finishing: After taking them out of the oven, let them cool slightly. Then, generously sprinkle powdered sugar over them for an attractive appearance and sweet taste. Serving suggestion: Jam horns are delicious both warm and cold. You can serve them alongside a cup of tea or coffee, making them the ideal dessert for a relaxing afternoon. These jam horns are a fantastic choice for any cooking enthusiast, offering both flavor and a wonderful aroma of nostalgia. Try them and enjoy the final result!
