  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 7 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (122 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, egg, gluten, nut

Ingredients

  • 60 g Croissants
  • 20 g Poppy seeds
  • 10 g Sugar
  • 8 g Raisins
  • 8 g Walnuts
  • 5 g Egg whites, raw
  • 8 g Sugar, powdered
  • 3 g Water

Method

  1. Split the croissant almost in half lengthwise to make room for the filling.
  2. Grind the poppy seeds and mix with the sugar, raisins, chopped walnuts and egg white to make a thick, sticky filling.
  3. Spread the poppy seed filling inside the croissant and press gently closed; warm briefly in the oven at 180 °C (350 °F) for 5-8 minutes so the filling heats through.
  4. Mix the powdered sugar with the water to a thick icing.
  5. Drizzle the icing over the warm pastry and scatter with a few extra nuts if you like; rogale are traditionally eaten on St. Martin's Day, 11 November.
