Ingredients
- 2.6 ounces white rice flour (about 1/2 cup)
- 1.4 ounces sweet white sorghum flour (about 1/3 cup)
- 1.15 ounces cornstarch (about 1/4 cup)
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces 1/3-less-fat cream cheese (about 1/2 cup), softened
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons 1% low-fat milk, plus extra for brushing
- 1 large egg
- White rice flour, for dusting
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup kadota fig preserves, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Weigh or lightly spoon flours and cornstarch into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, cornstarch, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.
- Place cream cheese, butter, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until blended. Add 2 tablespoons milk and egg; beat until blended. Add flour mixture, beating until blended. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic. Divide dough into 2 equal portions, shaping each into a disc. Wrap each in plastic wrap; chill at least 3 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375 °.
- Combine pecans, brown sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Place 1 dough disc onto a piece of well-floured parchment paper. Cover with an additional piece of floured parchment paper. Roll dough, still covered, into a 10-inch circle. Remove top sheet of paper; spread 1/4 cup melted preserves over dough. Top preserves with half of pecan mixture. Cut circle into 8 wedges. Beginning with long side, roll up each wedge. Place rolls, point sides down, 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat procedure with remaining dough disc, preserves, and pecan mixture.
- Combine 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush each rugelach with milk; sprinkle with sugar mixture. Bake at 375 ° for 24 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on pan.
