  • 2 Tbsp icing sugar
  • 2 egg yolk
  • 4 Tbsp water
  • generous pinch of salt
  • For the filling
  • 1/2 cup (100g/3oz) light brown sugar or white
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon (8g) plain flour

  3. Mix together the egg yolks and water and add to the dry ingredients.
  4. Mix in until a dough forms. It doesn't take long.
  5. Wrap the pastry in cling wrap and refrigerate for 30 minute to allow the gluten to relax. (you can freeze the pastry at this point)
  6. Make the filling: Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour together in a small bowl. Set aside.

  7. Roll out your dough on a floured surface until 1/4 inch thick.

  12. Mix the icing ingredeint together and spoon over the pastry.
