Nut-Filled Butterhorns image

These rich flaky butterhorns were made on Good Friday morning or Christmas Eve morning when I was growing up. We used them to celebrate the end of Lent or Advent and the joy of family and friends coming together. They're so special, they're worth the bit of extra effort. -Michael Engerson, Hustisford, Wisconsin

I love how versatile this recipe is. You can use any type of nuts you like, and you can even add different spices to the filling.

These were a bit too labor-intensive for me. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

These were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter to the dough next time.

I'm not a huge fan of nuts, but I still enjoyed these butterhorns. The pastry was so good that it made up for the fact that I didn't love the filling.

The filling was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, these were great!
