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.

Tips:
- Make sure your butter is very cold before you start. This will help the butterhorns keep their shape while baking.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour.
- Be careful not to overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the butterhorns tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before you start rolling it out. This will help the dough to be easier to work with.
- If the dough is too sticky to roll out, you can flour your work surface and your hands.
- Be careful not to roll the dough out too thinly. The dough should be about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into triangles and then roll them up from the wide end to the point.
- Place the butterhorns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the butterhorns for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Let the butterhorns cool on a wire rack before serving.
Conclusion:
These homemade whole wheat butterhorns are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The whole wheat flour gives them a slightly nutty flavor and makes them a bit healthier than traditional butterhorns. These butterhorns are sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
