Walnut Nut Rolls (Nut Roll) image

My mom got the recipe for these from my great aunt Grethel. She always makes them for Christmas and New Year's breakfast but they are good all year round.

Time 1h30m

Yield 3-4 12 inch rolls

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons sugar
2 (1/4 ounce) packets yeast (approximately 4 1/2 to 5 tsp.)
7/8 cup lukewarm milk
4 cups flour
1 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, separated
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 lbs ground nutmeats (we use walnuts, approximately 6 cups)
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup butter (optional)
3 1/2-4 cups confectioners' sugar (optional)
1 egg yolk (optional)
3 tablespoons milk (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla (optional)

Steps:

  • Dough: Dissolve yeast in milk with sugar. Add butter, salt, and egg yolks.
  • Stirring to mix. Add 2 cups flour and mix well, add remaining flour. Knead 5 minutes.
  • Divide dough into 3-4 parts, cover and let rise while preparing filling.
  • Filling: Heat all ingredients in a sauce pan until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Roll out each portion of dough to an 1/8 inch thickness in a rectangle shape. Spread an equal amount of filling on each portion on dough. Roll up jelly roll fashion and let raise 15-20 minutes.
  • Brush with egg whites before baking. (I accidentally forgot to do this one year and have decided we like it better without the egg wash.) Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
  • Once cool, top with icing, if desired.
  • Icing: Cream butter and egg yolk. Then add confectioner's sugar a cup at a time beating on medium speed. Add vanilla and milk 1 Tbls. at a time and beat on high until fluffy.

These nut rolls are a great way to use up leftover walnuts. I always have a few bags of walnuts in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.

I love that this recipe uses walnuts instead of pecans. It gives the nut rolls a unique and delicious flavor.

These nut rolls are a great make-ahead dessert. I made them a few days ahead of time and they were still fresh and delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my nut rolls didn't turn out as pictured. They were still tasty, but I was hoping for a more professional look.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The dough was too dry and the filling was too sweet.

I'm not usually a fan of walnut desserts, but these nut rolls were surprisingly good. The filling was moist and nutty, and the dough was perfectly crispy.

I've been making these nut rolls for years and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The filling is rich and flavorful, and the dough is flaky and tender.
