We picked croissants because that is something most of us have already tried. So we are aware of more or less how it should taste and what the texture should feel like.

Personally, we love chocolate croissants and butter croissants more but Jam croissants seemed like a unique idea so we couldn't let it go either.

When you are making Romanian plum jam croissants, you can expect them to be ultra-smooth and rich and that is something we can guarantee in the case of this recipe. Do you know why? What is the secret behind that? Well, of course, we will not deny you the truth.

It is pork fat that is used in the content of the croissants which gives it a tender texture that everyone drools for. Trust us that there will be no flavor of pork in the dessert of course but only the gorgeous and gooey texture which will make you crave them more and more.

In this recipe, we have used homemade plum Jam but that does not mean you have to as well. Store-bought Jam fillings for the croissant are also good in case you wish to save some time. To be honest, you shall need about an hour to prepare them if this is your first time but with more attempts and practice, you can get them ready in just half an hour.

Ingredients that you are likely to need for traditional Romanian desserts- Plum croissants

Here is a list of ingredients that you are likely to need as you are making these jam croissants at home. Go through the items carefully so you do not miss out on any.

All-purpose flour- Most of the baked goods are prepared with all-purpose flour unless you are going gluten-free.
Pork fat- This is used to provide a sense of tenderness to the dessert.
Salt- Used for seasoning.
Vanilla sugar- For the enriching flavors.
Sour cream- Used for garnishing.
Egg yolk- Acts as a leavening agent.
White wine- Flavoring agents.
Jam- For the filling.
Powdered sugar- It is easier to blend powdered sugar in the batter.

That is more or less about the ingredients that you shall need if you bake Romanian jam croissants at home. Now let's find out about the steps that you need to follow to make them come out successfully out of the oven.

Simple steps to make traditional Romanian Desserts- Jam croissants

To make the croissant, you shall need some flour to be mixed with pork, fat, sour cream, and egg yolk. Mix salt, sugar, and wine in the same bowl as well. The dough should become non-stick and rather elastic in the process. This is an indicator that you are going in the right direction.

Once the dough is ready, you must let it sit in the oven for about half an hour. Then you need to flatten the dough and give it a circular shape. Cut out triangular sections just like pizza slices from the flattened circle.

Put a little jam on each of the triangular sections and then roll it up in the form of a croissant. Make sure that there is neither too much nor too little filling in the sections. The oven is preheated at 180°C and then the croissants are baked for about thirty minutes.

You can place all the pieces adjacent to each other, that is not an issue. This is because croissants do not rise much in the oven and hence there is no space issue here.

Once the croissants are baked, bring them out of the oven and roll them in powdered sugar. And your delicious Romanian croissant is ready.

Just like this, there are several other Romanian desserts that you will come across. We are always inclined towards dishes that are traditional and hold some spark of history in them. If you think like us too then follow the list given below for more ideas.
