NUT HORNS



Nut Horns image

I have never posted a recipe I haven't tried before, but I was going through an envelope of old recipes -- clippings, cards, fading paper, you know the sort of things that collect in the back of drawers. I found this one on a water-spotted and yellow paper that's ready to crumble apart. I think it may have come from an aunt, but it may have been from a woman in the church I grew up in. I remember having them at Christmas. Since the paper is crumbling I figured I'd better post it to keep it safe. THE YIELD IS A GUESS. THE SIZES OF THE CANS WERE NOT SPECIFIED. I tried to come up with the standard, US can sizes. I'll edit both once I've made it and correct it. If anyone makes it before I do please tell me how many it made for you.

NUT HORNS (YEAST COOKIE)



Nut Horns (yeast cookie) image

My Grandmother had these on the table most all the time. They are delicate, and not overly sweet. The dough is a yeast dough with sour cream. A cross between a cookie and a pastry, these are sure to be a hit. The dough can be made a few days ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator. Apricot preserves, prune filling and or...

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

FOR THE DOUGH
1/2 c sugar
4 c all purpose flour
1/2 lb lard
1/2 lb butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pkg yeast (or 2 1/4 teaspoons)
4 egg yolks
1 c sour cream
FOR NUT FILLING
2 c ground nuts ( i use walnuts)
1 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp milk

Steps:

  • 1. Put yeast in sour cream. Add egg yolks. Mix well. Let stand.
  • 2. Cut shortening and lard in flour. Add sugar. Mix in the yeast mixture and add vanilla. Mix well. Refrigerate over night (at least 6 hours) or up to several days.
  • 3. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Using about a fourth of the dough at a time, keeping the remaining dough in the refrigerator, roll dough out onto a floured surface into about a 9 inch circle. Cut into 16 crescent shapes from circle. (like very small pizza slices) :) (see how nice and even mine are? lol!) Doesnt matter, they still taste wonderful!
  • 4. FOR THE NUT FILLING: Combine all ingredients and mix well.
  • 5. Spoon a tiny bit of filling onto the broad end of the crescent slices and roll from broad side to short side like a crescent. Place seam side down, pressing gently to make sure they dont unroll.
  • 6. Bake @ 325 degrees for 15-20 minutes until just golden. Let cool on racks. Before serving, powder with powdered sugar. These can be frozen for later use. Bring to room temperature and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before rolling. This will make it easier to work with and less likely to stick to your hands or counter.
  • Roll the dough out thinly. This will help the nut horns to be crispy and flaky.
  • Brush the dough with egg wash before baking. This will give the nut horns a golden brown color.
  • Sprinkle the nut horns with powdered sugar after baking. This will add a touch of sweetness and make them look extra festive.
  • Be careful not to overfill the nut horns. If they are too full, they will be more likely to burst open while baking.
  • Store the nut horns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Nut horns are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning, you can make nut horns that are sure to impress your friends and family.
