Husaren Krapfen

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until a smooth dough forms.

6. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll it out to about ¼-inch (0.6 cm) thickness. Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles of dough.

7. Place a small dollop of raspberry jam in the center of each circle of dough.

8. Fold the dough in half, sealing the edges with a fork to create a half-moon shape.

9. Arrange the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

10. Remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

11. Once cooled, dust the pastries with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.

12. Serve your Husaren Krapfen warm or at room temperature.
