Yerevan Gata

Ingredients

200 g flour

100 g butter

1 tsp baking powder

2 egg whites

1 egg yolk

1 pinch salt

100 g sour cream

For the filling:

100 g sugar

100 g butter

100 g flour

100 g vanilla sugar

Preheat the oven to 180-190 degrees Celsius and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a deep bowl. Add the diced butter. Separately mix the sour cream, egg whites, and yolk. Add to the flour and butter mixture, mix well, and knead into a soft dough.

 In a separate bowl, crush the sugar, flour, vanilla sugar, and butter into crumbs. Divide the dough into two pieces, roll out into a rectangle, spread half the filling evenly, leaving a small gap from the edges. Roll into a roll (do not roll tightly). Then flatten the roll with your hands and cut into pieces at a slight angle. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Brush the gata with egg yolk and bake until golden brown.

Enjoy!
