Love your YouTube channel. This is the first recipe I'm trying. The recipe above calls for 2 1/8 cups of sugar for the dough but the video recipe seems to add much less sugar that this amount? Is the sugar amount above a mistake?
Angela says
OMG, thank you so much for catching that, Mike. You are amazing! It is indeed only 1/3 cup of sugar, I corrected the recipe.
Dena says
There's no temperature listed on what to bake these...
Angela Schofield says
Thank you for asking Dena. The pastry is baked at 350 F in a pre-heated oven.
Sandy says

I made these this morning for breakfast. They were sooo good! I did add frozen berries (thawed and drained) to the jam, and also added a thin cheesecake batter, and then the streusel. I added chopped walnuts to the streusel also. I increases the oven temp to 265° to make sure the cheesecake batter was cooked through.
The pastries rose and expanded even more in the oven. When I make these again (and I will), I will divide them into 12 or 16 doughballs because it makes a big pastry.
After they cooled, I wrapped them in foil and put them in freezer bags into the deep freeze.
We loved this recipe, and I'm excited about trying more of your German recipes!
