Ingredients
Instructions
- Roll the pastry into a rectangle.
- Slice the butter and scatter pats all over the pastry.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Roll the pastry as you would for a jelly roll, starting on the long side of the rectangle.
- Curve the roll around inside a greased 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
- Mix sugar, vinegar, and water.
- Pour the mixture over the roll.
- Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes or until slightly browned and the syrup is bubbly and beginning to thicken.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier pastry, chill the dough before rolling it out. If you don't have butter flavor Crisco, you can substitute with regular unsalted butter or a non-dairy alternative. To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon. Ensure the vinegar is a mild type, like apple cider vinegar, to maintain a balanced sweetness in the final dish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the vinegar roll warm as a delightful dessert or a sweet breakfast treat. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. You can also enjoy it with fresh fruit on the side for added freshness. Consider serving it alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a comforting treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the roll in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This helps retain the pastry's texture and keeps the syrup nice and bubbly.
