Hungarian Butterhorns Recipe - (5/5) image

Provided by Lorimarie7

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 Cups - Flour
1 1/2 Cups - Butter
1/2 tsp - Salt
3 Eggs, separated
2 tsp - Vanilla
1 Cup - Sour Cream
1 Pkt - Dry Yeast
1 Cup - Sugar
1/2 Cup - Walnuts, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Sift flour & salt. Add yeast. Cut in butter. Add beaten egg yolks, sour cream & 1 tsp vanilla. Mix like a pie crust. Beat egg whites until stiff. Add sugar. Fold in nuts & 1 tsp vanilla. Roll out dough on powdered sugar to the size of a pie tin. Cut into 16 wedges after spreading on filling. Roll to center. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality butter or margarine for the best flavor and texture.
  • Keep the butter or margarine cold until you are ready to use it. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming too greasy.
  • Work the dough quickly and gently. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands and make it easier to work with.
  • Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. If the dough is too thick, the horns will be too dense. If the dough is too thin, the horns will be too fragile.
  • Brush the horns with egg wash before baking. This will help to give them a golden brown color.
  • Bake the horns until they are golden brown and cooked through. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the horns.
