Steps:
- In a large bowl combine the four and salt. Add in the cubed butter and cut in using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture is crumbly. Add in the egg yolk and sour cream and stir until combined and the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in cling wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- For the filling, in a small bowl combine the light brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Divide the dough into 3, equal portions. Roll each portion out on a floured surface into a thin circle, 12-inches in diameter. Sprinkle 1/3 of the filling mixture onto each dough round.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut each round into 12 equal wedges. Roll up each wedge, starting at the wide edge tightly. Place onto the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down and pinched.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the butterhorns are lightly golden. Some of the filling might leak out, this is fine.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

FLAKY BUTTERHORN ROLLS
These dinner rolls, slightly sweet and so very flaky, were my mother's recipe. They are simple to prepare because kneading skills are not required and the dough is easy to handle. My grandchildren have renamed them Grandma's Croissants! -Bernice Smith, Sturgeon Lake, Minnesota

Steps:
- Crumble the compressed yeast into a small bowl, and mix in 2 teaspoons of sugar. Set aside. In a small saucepan, heat milk until a skin forms on the top. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool slightly.
- Place 1 cup of butter and remaining 1/2 cup of sugar into a large bowl. Pour the hot milk over them, and stir until butter is melted. Let the mixture cool to just above body temperature. Beat in the eggs, one at a time mixing well after each one, then stir in the yeast mixture. Add 3 cups of flour, and mix until well blended. Gradually mix in the remaining flour, mixing as well as you can. The dough will be sticky. Cover the bowl with a towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- After the dough has risen, punch down, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
- Divide the dough into four pieces. Use one piece at a time, leaving the rest in the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll the piece of dough out into a 12 inch circle. Spread about 2 tablespoons of butter over the surface. Cut into 8 wedges, as you would a pizza. Roll each wedge starting at the wide end, and ending at the point. Place onto a lightly greased cookie sheet, and bend the ends so that they are crescent shaped. Cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled. This will take about 2 hours because the dough is cold.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden.

ICEBOX BUTTERHORNS (OVERNIGHT DINNER ROLLS)
This is the most awesome dinner roll recipe. It comes from taste of home. I now use it every time that I make any type of roll. It requires no kneading, or machine to make it- just a large bowl and a wooden spoon. I don't think I can really describe how good they are- you'll just have to try them. (I always use margarine, never butter, and it turns out great.) 4/08 - I edited the recipe to include the missing step of letting the dough rise before baking -oops!

Steps:
- Dissolve the yeast in the water in a large bowl. Add the milk, sugar, egg, salt, and half of the flour. Beat together with a wooden spoon until smooth; add the 3/4 cup melted butter, along with remaining flour. Place in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and put in your fridge overnight.
- The next day (or at least six hours later, if you'd like to make them in the morning for supper) punch the dough down. Shape as desired. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. (I like to turn the oven on for 1-2 minutes, then turn it off and stick the rolls in or 45 minutes. Then I pull them out, and preheat the oven to bake them.).
- Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes for round dinner rolls. Immediately brush with melted butter. Awesome warm, cold, or leftover.
- (For a butterhorn shape: make a 12 inch circle of dough, cut it into 12 pieces, and roll from the big end towards the little end. Place on the pan with the ends curled like a horn.).

- Divide in half, roll each piece into a circle 1/4 inch thick.
- Butter, if you like and cut each piece into 16 pie shaped pieces.
- Roll each piece, beginning at the wide end towards the tip end, so that the tip is kept at an equal distance from each end of the roll.
- Arrange shaped rolls on a well-greased baking sheet, placing the tip underneath the roll to prevent it from popping up and spoiling the shape of the roll.
- Allow rolls to rise until doubled and bake at 375F for 12 to 15 minutes.
- *To make crescent rolls, curve rolls slightly.
- *To make butterleaf rolls, roll dough into a very think rectangular sheet, brush with melted butter; cut into strips 1 inch wide and pile 6 or 7 together. Cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces and place on end in greased muffin pans. Cover and let rise till doubled and bake as above.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before rolling and baking helps to develop the gluten and create a flakier texture. If you're short on time, you can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, but longer is better.
- Use Cold Butter: Cold butter is easier to work with and will help to create a more even distribution of fat throughout the dough. This will result in a more tender and flaky pastry.
- Roll the Dough Evenly: When rolling the dough, try to keep it as even thickness as possible. This will help to ensure that the rolls bake evenly.
- Don't Overfill the Rolls: When filling the rolls, don't overfill them or they will burst open during baking. A good rule of thumb is to fill them no more than halfway.
- Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the rolls until they are golden brown on top. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a slightly crispy exterior.
Conclusion:
Flaky butterhorn rolls are a delicious and versatile pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are perfect for special occasions or everyday snacking. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make these rolls at home. So next time you're looking for a tasty and impressive treat, give flaky butterhorn rolls a try!
