These taste amazing slightly warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea.
Storing:
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also freeze them (without glaze) and reheat briefly before serving.
Variations:
Fruit-Filled:
Add a spoonful of jam or fruit compote (like raspberry or apricot) in the center before sprinkling with streusel.
Cream Taler:
Spread a thin layer of vanilla pudding or cream cheese on the dough before adding the crumbs for a creamy filling.
Nutty Topping:
Mix chopped nuts like almonds or hazelnuts into the streusel for extra crunch.
FAQ:
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the dough and let it rise in the refrigerator overnight. Let it come to room temperature before shaping and baking.
Why didn’t my streusel stay crumbly?
Make sure to use cold butter and don’t overmix. If the streusel is too fine, add a bit more flour and mix again gently.
Can I make these vegan?
You can substitute plant-based milk, margarine, and an egg replacement to make a vegan version.
Do I need to use lemon in the glaze?
Lemon juice adds a nice zing, but milk works just as well for a classic sweet glaze.
