NUT HORNS (YEAST COOKIE)
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...

NUT HORNS
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.
