A recipe from childhood, in the 50s it was invented at the Sverdlovsk confectionery factory. Today there is no such city, but everyone who was born in the USSR treats the airy, buttery buns sprinkled with sugar streusel with tenderness . According to the Soviet GOST, Sverdlovsk puff pastry was prepared with margarine, but from rich dough with milk and butter, the plump buns turn out even tastier. From the book by Oksana Putan "Favorite Russian pies"

The essence and flavor of these buns lie in their formation. Roll out the prepared, twice-proofed dough into a rectangular sheet.

Spread half of the pastry crumbs by hand over the surface of the dough.

Fold the edges on both sides and shape the dough so that the crumbs are inside and the edges overlap each other.

Pressing hard on the rolling pin, literally pushing the crumbs into the dough, first roll it out along the length of the dough. Then, as much as possible, roll the dough out in width.

Sprinkle with crumbs again (half of the remaining), fold the dough in the same way (lengthwise, with crumbs inside).
