Instructions

1. Put the flour in a big bowl and add cold butter cut into pieces no bigger than kidney beans.
2. Mix lightly, then add sugar, salt, cinnamon, milk, cream, the 2 eggs and yeast, and mix into a dough.
3. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for about 4 hours.
4. After 4 hours, give the dough 3 folds as for puff pastry, then chill it for 30 minutes and cut it into 2 halves.
5. Roll one half thin into a rectangle and trim the edges to make it neat.
6. Cut strips along the sides of the rectangle, spread cooled jam in the centre, then fold the cut strips over to make braids.
7. Brush with egg wash and bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 15-18 minutes.
8. Make small biscuits from the trimmings if you like. When the wienerbrød is ready, top with icing.
