★Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
• Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Gradually add the ice-cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

• In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and nuts (if using) until well combined.

1. Roll Out the Dough:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a thin rectangle.
• Spread the filling mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.

1. Roll and Slice:

• Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.
• Slice the log into 1/2-inch thick pieces and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

1. Prepare for Baking:

• Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg wash.
• Sprinkle a little extra sugar over the top for added sweetness and crunch.

1. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and crispy.

1. Cool and Serve:
