Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. 2 Remove flap of meat at wider end of tenderloin and trim last 2 inches off narrow end; chop trimmings and reserve.
3. 3 Place tenderloin with a short end toward you. Cut into tenderloin with knife parallel to cutting board about 1-inch from bottom (in the middle) along entire length of one long edge of tenderloin; continue cutting stopping about 1/2-inch from other long edge, without cutting all the way through. Open tenderloin like a book. Cut a few shallow slashes in the flattened meat, being careful not to cut all the way through.
4. 4 Cover flattened tenderloin with heavy plastic; pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to about a 1/2-inch thickness. Roll up pounded tenderloin, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate to keep cold.
5. 5 Mix chopped pork trimmings, parsley, bread crumbs, currants, garlic, rosemary, egg, olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl with a fork until stuffing well-combined.
6. 6 Unroll tenderloin on work surface. Spread stuffing over tenderloin, leaving a 2-inch border on one of the long edges. Roll up tenderloin, ending at the 2-inch border; tie with twine to secure shape. Season tenderloin on all sides with salt and black pepper.
7. 7 Heat an oven-safe skillet on stovetop over high heat until hot. Add tenderloin; cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
8. 8 Cook in the preheated oven until tenderloin slightly pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer to a plate and let rest for 15 minutes before removing twine and slicing.

Instructions

1. 1 Begin filling: Combine citron, currants, and orange juice in a lidded jar. Add enough water to cover fruit. Seal and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
2. 2 Prepare dough: Combine milk, sugar, and cubed butter in a small pot over medium-low heat. Heat until butter melts and mixture is warmed to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C). Pour into the bowl of a stand mixer and add yeast; let proof for 13 minutes.
3. 3 Stir eggs into the milk-yeast mixture. Gradually add flour and salt and knead with the dough hook until well combined. Transfer dough to a floured work surface and knead by hand for 5 minutes.
4. 4 Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl and flip to coat all sides. Cover lightly and allow to rise at room temperature until 1 1/2 times its size, about 3 1/2 hours.
5. 5 Punch down dough. Place on a floured work surface and divide into 3 equal portions. Shape into balls and let rest for 15 minutes.
6. 6 Meanwhile, finish filling: Remove citron-currant mixture from the refrigerator. Drain liquid. Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl.
7. 7 Roll marzipan on a floured silicone pad into three 9x11-inch sheets, using a floured plastic fondant roller.
8. 8 Roll one portion of dough on a floured surface into a 10x12-inch rectangle. Cover the whole surface with 1/3 of the melted butter. Turn dough so the long end is facing you. Layer with 1/3 of the cinnamon-sugar mixture, leaving 1/2 inch at the sides and 1 inch at the top uncovered. Sprinkle 1/3 of the citron-currant mixture over the cinnamon-sugar, then 1/3 of the finely chopped pecans. Top with a sheet of marzipan.
9. 9 Start at the bottom edge and roll the dough carefully away from you and around the filling; be sure to keep the edges clean. When you reach the last 1 1/2 inches, fold the top down and pinch to seal the roll. Fold in the sides and pinch to seal.
10. 10 Flip the roll so the seam is facing down. Use a rolling pin to roll out a 6 1/2x14-inch rectangle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rest for 40 minutes.
11. 11 Repeat Steps 8 to 10 with remaining dough, filling ingredients, and marzipan.
12. 12 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• all-purpose flour
• salt
• shortening
• butter
• water
• brown sugar
• butter
• heavy cream
• vanilla extract
• egg
• pecan

Instructions

1. 1 Heat currants, maple extract, and 1 tablespoon water in a saucepan over low heat until currants are soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
2. 2 Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray 24 muffin cups or individual tart pans with cooking spray.
3. 3 Whisk flour and 1 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Cut in shortening and cold butter with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until flour mixture is moistened. Do not add more water than you need: when you squeeze a handful of the moistened pastry mixture, it should form a ball. Divide dough in half and shape into balls.
4. 4 Roll out one half of dough on a lightly-floured surface. Cut tart shells out of dough with a 3 1/2-inch circular cutter, and press into prepared tins. Repeat with the remaining dough. Cover tins; set aside.
5. 5 Heat brown sugar, 2/3 cup butter, cream, and vanilla over low heat until smooth, stirring occasionally; remove from heat. Whisk a few spoonfuls of the warm butter mixture into beaten eggs, then whisk egg mixture into the butter mixture.
6. 6 Divide the currants, along with their liquid, into the bottom of the prepared tart shells. Fill each shell about 3/4-full with butter mixture. Place a pecan half on top of each tart.
7. 7 Bake tarts in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. With oven door closed, reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C); continue baking until filling is bubbly, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; allow to cool for a few minutes before loosening tarts from pan with a knife. Remove tarts to cool completely on a wire rack.

• all-purpose flour
• butter
• nutmeg
• cardamom
• salt
• cinnamon
• orange zest
• lemon zest
• egg
• sugar
• active dry yeast
• bread flour
• milk
• rum

Instructions

1. 1 Make the dough: Heat rum in a small saucepan until steaming. Place currents into a small bowl and pour steaming rum over top; let sit for about 2 hours to soften. Drain; reserve liquid for another use.
2. 2 Whisk warm milk, 1/4 cup bread flour, and yeast together in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let stand until small bubbles start to rise to the surface, about 15 minutes. Add sugar, beaten egg, lemon and orange zest, cinnamon, salt, cardamom, and nutmeg. Add melted butter, then spoon in most of the remaining bread flour (you might not need it all). Mix with a dough hook attachment until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and becomes slightly elastic, 5 or 6 minutes. Continue kneading until dough is soft and shiny, about 10 minutes. Remove dough from dough hook and shape into a ball. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface.
3. 3 Flatten dough into a large oval about 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle strained currants evenly over the surface. Fold dough into thirds, then turn and fold into thirds again. Reshape dough into a round ball. Transfer to a lightly oiled mixing bowl. Cover and let rise in a relatively warm, draft-free place until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
4. 4 Poke dough down a bit with your fingertips. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and flatten out into an even shape. Divide into 16 equal pieces using a bench scraper. Roll each piece of dough into a round ball. Arrange evenly on a silicone-lined baking sheet. Let rise for 15 minutes.
5. 5 Mix 1/3 cup all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup water in a mixing bowl until mixture is thick enough to hold its shape but thin enough to pipe. Transfer to a piping bag and pipe a cross on top of risen bun. Let rise until doubled in volume again, another 15 or 20 minutes.
6. 6 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
7. 7 Bake the buns in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
8. 8 Meanwhile, make the glaze: Bring sugar and water to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until sugar dissolves and mixture starts to thicken, or until it reaches a temperature of 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Remove from the heat.
9. 9 Let buns cool on a rack for 5 minutes before glazing. Brush glaze lightly over the tops of the buns.
