To burn it off
Rugelach are little rolled pastries from the Ashkenazi Jewish kitchen. Dough is cut into triangles, spread with chocolate, cinnamon sugar, nuts or jam, and rolled up into a crescent.
One is 120 kcal, with 14 g of carbs, 6 g of fat and 2 g of protein. The dough is made with butter, or with cream cheese in many American recipes.
They're small, which is the trick. A bag from an Israeli bakery holds a lot of them, and four is already 480 kcal.
Tips
- 1Put two on a plate and close the bag.
- 2Cinnamon ones are often a little lighter than chocolate.
- 3Have them with coffee, not as the coffee break and dessert both.
