Rugelach

Rugelach is a filled baked confection originating in the Jewish communities of Poland. It has become a popular treat among Jews in the diaspora and in Israel. Traditional rugelach are shaped into a crescent by rolling a triangle of dough around a filling. Some sources state that the rugelach and the French croissant share a common Viennese ancestor, crescent-shaped pastries commemorating the lifting of the Turkish siege, possibly a reference to the Battle of Vienna in 1683. This appears to be an urban legend, however, as both the rugelach and its supposed ancestor, the Kipferl, predate the Early Modern era, while the croissant in its modern form did not originate earlier than the 19th century (see viennoiserie).
