Kiflice ( Kiflitseh) - Classic of eastern Europe

Every country in eastern Europe has some kind of kiflice. These are coming from  countries of former Yugoslavia. 

Ingredients:

500 g flour

1/2 cup  milk, warm

1  (7 g) packet of instant yeast

2 tbs sugar

200 g butter, softened (or 175 g lard)

100 ml sour cream

1 tsp lemon zest (optional)

jam for filling

icing sugar for dusting / rolling in 

Method: 

Mix yeast, 1 tbs flour and 1 tsp sugar with milk. Let it activate. 

Mix all dry ingredients, add butter, activated yeast and sour cream. Make a soft dough, kneading for at least 5 minutes. Divide into 4 balls and let it (covered) double in a warm spot. After an hour or so, roll out each ball into a (large dinner plate size) circle. Cut wedges (8 or 12) with pizza cuter. Place 1/2 tsp of jam on each end of dough, fold corners then roll towards sharp corner (picture bellow). Place kiflice on a baking sheet, cover with clean cloth and let it rest for 30 min. Preheat oven to 170*C, bake for 12-15 minutes. Cool slightly, then roll each into icing sugar. Lasts for a week, stored in a cool, dry spot.
