To up the ante, we've mixed a classic Jewish treat, rugelach with a French classic, French Onion Soup. Classic rugelach dough is beyond amazing. The combination of butter and cream cheese in the dough creates a rich, buttery dough that works well as rugelach, but can easily be used as a pie crust as well.
