- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 7 min
- Makes: 1 serving (122 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian

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
- Split the croissant almost in half lengthwise to make room for the filling.
- Grind the poppy seeds and mix with the sugar, raisins, chopped walnuts and egg white to make a thick, sticky filling.
- 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.
- Mix the powdered sugar with the water to a thick icing.
- 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.
