Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Filling

  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Mix ingredients for the dough in a mixer.  The dough will be sticky.  Divide into three balls and refrigerate overnight.

  2. Mix ingredients for the filling in a bowl.  Make sure you chop the walnuts well.  I use my pampered chef food chopper.  

  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  

  4. Roll out one dough ball like a pie crust on a floured surface.  Cut like a pizza into 6-8 slices.  Place about 2 tsps of filling on the slice and roll dough from the large end to the small end.  Seal the end by pressing it into the dough.  Shape like a crescent roll.  You will have filling left over.  Save it and use it for later (it is delicious on toast!)

  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.  Enjoy!
