Steps:
- Cut butter into flour in a bowl using 2 knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add sour cream and egg yolk; mix well. Shape the dough into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
- Combine walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
- Cut dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 1/8-inch thick circle on a lightly floured surface. Spread 1/4 of the walnut mixture on each circle; cut each circle into 12 wedge-shaped pieces with a pizza wheel.
- Shape each piece of dough into a crescent by rolling dough from the wide end of the wedge into the center. Transfer cookies carefully to the baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Watch cookies carefully as they bake; their bottoms tend to brown faster than their tops.

NUT HORNS
I have never posted a recipe I haven't tried before, but I was going through an envelope of old recipes -- clippings, cards, fading paper, you know the sort of things that collect in the back of drawers. I found this one on a water-spotted and yellow paper that's ready to crumble apart. I think it may have come from an aunt, but it may have been from a woman in the church I grew up in. I remember having them at Christmas. Since the paper is crumbling I figured I'd better post it to keep it safe. THE YIELD IS A GUESS. THE SIZES OF THE CANS WERE NOT SPECIFIED. I tried to come up with the standard, US can sizes. I'll edit both once I've made it and correct it. If anyone makes it before I do please tell me how many it made for you.

HUNGARIAN NUT HORNS
My mother shared this recipe with me over 30 years ago. Nut horns are especially nice for buffets because they are easy to pick up and eat with your fingers. They also freeze well.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the nut horns will taste. Look for fresh, unsalted nuts, and use a good quality butter or margarine.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands or the rolling pin.
- Roll the dough out thinly. The thinner the dough, the crispier the nut horns will be.
- Brush the dough with egg wash before baking. This will help to give the nut horns a golden brown color.
- Bake the nut horns until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them so that they don't overcook.
Conclusion:
Nut horns are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make them at home. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give nut horns a try.
