Melizza, try the tip of Sister above. That’s the problem with baking in the Philippines. It’s too warm!

I once tried making rugulach after watching barefoot contessa. I may have been impatient (or just too novice) because my dough didn’t hold up. It turned up tasting good, pero yech ang itsura kasi punit-punit. I’m sure to try this new recipe – hope before january ends. thanks!

Some places sell kosher butter. Butter makes everything taste better!

I’m really impressed with Sister’s baking skills. I can picture Sister’s kitchen must be like the Food Network kitchen with the mixer in full swing and the oven at its full capacity.

Thank you for the recipe, Sister! My mother has been asking me to make these since she saw Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten’s rugelach recipe on tv, but since I do not have the recipe I’ve never tried. I just have to get cream cheese and I’ll be baking them soon.

Corrine, Just keep the dough in the freezer and only take out one circle at a time, this can be made in Manila without a doubt, just return to freezer if it gets too soft. The dough is very sturdy. You can also freeze the formed rugulach on trays, wrapped in foil or cling wrap for later baking.
Rugulach is a staple in bakeries and delis across NY but it’s difficult to find a good one, I tast them everywhere I see them sold, in the interest of research. One of the worst is at Zabar’s.

Looks really yummy but also looks like very challenging to make in Manila weather…though a bit cool at night.
