Brown Sugar Walnut Ring
DOUGH
2 cups flour, 4 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 stick (4Tbsp) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces, 2/3 cup 1% low fat milk
FILLING
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
GLAZE
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, 1 Tbsp milk, 1/2 tsp lemon juice
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Dough: Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender until mixture resembles oatmeal. Add milk and stir with a fork until dough comes together in a ball.
2. Place on a lightly floured surface and knead gently 7 or 8 times. With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough into a 14 x 12-in rectangle.
3. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil and grease generously.
4. Filling: Mix sugar, walnuts and cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush butter over dough and sprinkle evenly with sugar mixture. Roll up from 1 short end, jelly-roll fashion and pinch seam to seal. Cut into 1-inch slices.
5. Place the slices, slightly overlapping each other, on the foil-lined cookie sheet, forming an 8-9 inch ring.
6. Bake 20-25 minutes until puffed and lightly browned. Cool on pan on a wire rack until warm. Slide onto serving plate.
7. Glaze: Stir confectioners' sugar, milk and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Brush over warm ring and let set at least 3 minutes before serving.
