Slovenian Fruit Žlikrofi (Sadni Žlikrofi)

Ingredients:

Dough:

500 g flour

3 eggs

2 tbsp oil

water

Filling:

750 g of one or several types of dried fruit - prunes, pears, Apples

100 g butter

100 g breadcrumbs

100 g sugar

1 tsp cinnamon (depending on taste)

Milk or cream

Dressing:

100 g fat, oil or butter

50 g breadcrumbs

Cooking Instructions:

Make a dough from the flour, eggs, oil and water. The dough should be somewhat softer than that used for rezanci. Knead thoroughly, sprinkle the dough loaf with flour, cover with a cloth and allow to rest for at least 30 minutes.

In the meantime, prepare the filling: grind the dried fruit, fry the breadcrumbs in some butter and add them to the fruit; season with cinnamon and sugar. Stir thoroughly, and if it is too dry add some milk or cream.

Roll the dough out thinly and cut it into rectangles. Place a walnut-sized lump of filling onto each rectangle. Fold the dough over the filling. Smear the edges with egg white and pinch them together to keep the filling inside, then trim the edges with a pastry trimmer. Cook the žlikrofi in salted water for 10 minutes, strain thoroughly. Dress with breadcrumbs which have previously been fried in the oil, fat or butter. Serve with a compote or a fruit salad.
