Directions

1
Mix flour, salt, baking powder, allspice and orange peel in a bowl. Press a depression in the middle. Whisk saffron, egg yolk and 1 teaspoon of water. Add sugar to the bowl. Place the fat in flakes on the edge of the flour. Knead everything into a smooth dough.

Cover the dough and chill for about 1 hour. In the meantime, remove the seeds from the dates. Chop dates and pine nuts very finely. Mix with cinnamon. Roll out the short pastry on a floured work surface to form a rectangle (approx. 24 x 40 cm). Halve the dough once lengthwise. Roll out the date mixture on an oiled work surface into 2 strips of approx. 9 x 40 cm each. Place one date strip in the middle of each short pastry strip. Separate 1 egg. Spread the edges of the pastry with whisked egg white. Roll up each strip of dough from the long side, place it with the seam side down and cut diagonally into approx. 14 pieces.
