AUSTRIAN BUTTER CRESCENTS

From the kitchen of
Beckwood Pond Country Inn
Putney, Vermont

 

Ingredients

  • Dough:

  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 pound butter, softened
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3/4 cup sour cream

  • Filling:

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped nuts

Directions

    Method: Pour flour into bowl. Cut butter into small pieces and mix into flour with your hands. Add egg yolk and sour cream; mix together with large wooden spoon.

    Roll dough into a ball and wrap in waxed paper. Refrigerate overnight.

    In the morning, prepare filling and set aside. Remove dough from the refrigerator.

    Cut ball of dough into four equal pieces. On a lightly floured board roll each ball into a thin circle.

    Sprinkle one-fourth of the filling on top of each circle.

    Cut each circle into eight triangles and beginning at the wide end, carefully roll each triangle up and gently bend into a crescent shape. Lift gently with a large spatula to prepared cookie sheet.

    Bake on a cookie sheet lightly sprayed with cooking spray in a 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes, until lightly golden.

    Carefully remove to a cooling rack and allow to cool before serving.

    YIELD: 32 Crescents
