Ingredients

Dough

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 (0.25oz each) packages (14g) or 4 1/2 teaspoons Red Star Active Dry Yeast
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup butter
  • 4 large egg yolks

Filling

  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup walnuts (finely chopped)
  • Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Place room temperature ingredients into pan in the order recommended by manufacturer. Select DOUGH setting. When kneading is complete, continue with next step.
  • Transfer dough to a greased bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Chill dough 4 to 24 hours. This is a rich dough and will rise very little. Since this recipe makes 64 butterhorns, half of dough could be made after 4 hours; the rest later. If you are only making 1/2 of recipe, prepare half of filling.
  • Prepare filling: Beat egg whites to soft peak stage. Gradually beat in sugar and vanilla. Beat again until stiff. Gently fold in finely chopped nuts.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Divide dough into 8 equal parts. Roll out one at a time on work surface sprinkled with confectioners’ sugar. (Cover and refrigerate the rest.) Shape dough into a ball, then roll from center in all directions to an 8-inch circle. Add more confectioners’ sugar to board for easy rolling. Dough can be patched by pressing with fingers and rolling to smooth. Cover circle with a thin layer of Filling. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut into 8 wedges. Roll up, beginning at rounded outside edge. Place on ungreased pan.
  • Bake immediately for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from pan, cool on rack. If desired, dust with in confectioners’ sugar before serving.
