Ingredients

4 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 cup vegetable oil

3 3/4 cups self-rising flour (or all-purpose flour mixed with 4 teaspoons baking powder)

6 tablespoons apricot preserves, melted

1 cup golden raisins

3/4 cup currants

6 tablespoons chopped walnuts

Cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a large baking sheet with nonstick vegetable spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Stir in oil. Fold in flour. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  3. Divide dough into 3 pieces. On a floured board, press 1 piece of dough into a rectangle about 6 by 10 inches. Spread 2 tablespoons preserves over the dough. Sprinkle on 1/3 cup raisins, 1/4 cup currants, and 2 tablespoons nuts. Dust lightly with cinnamon. Roll up as for a jelly roll. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  4. Bake in preheated oven 35 minutes. Let cool. Cut into slices 1/2-inch thick.

The flavor was pleasant enough, but I was disappointed with my results which were more like a soft biscotti or a giant fig newton. The dough/batter was too soft to neatly move from the floured board to the baking sheet, and I would have liked more filling per section of dough/batter. My product didn't look like any of the pictures I've seen of a strudel, and I will not try this recipe again.
