Walnut Crescents image

These flaky little crescents were passed on to me from my grandmother. Flour can vary add more or less depending on moisture in the air. Powdered Sugar is used for rolling. The amount can vary because you can roll as big (producing less in amount)or little (produced many little tasty treats)circles as you want.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb Crisco (I used 1/2 very cold sweet butter and 1/2 Crisco)

5 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 (1/3 ounce) package dry yeast

  • Blend in Crisco or butter/Crisco mixture.
  • Dissolve yeast in a little lukewarm water, add to flour mixture.
  • lightly beat eggs.
  • Add eggs and sour cream.

These walnut crescents were a disaster! The dough was too sticky and the crescents fell apart.

I had a hard time getting the dough to roll out thinly, but the crescents still turned out okay.

These walnut crescents were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.
