Classic Nut Horns Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.5 pound butter
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup sour cream
• 1 egg yolk
• 0.75 cup finely ground walnuts
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Using two knives or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour in a mixing bowl until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the sour cream and egg yolk, then mix thoroughly. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
2. In a small bowl, combine the walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon until well mixed.
3. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two baking sheets to prevent sticking.
4. Divide the chilled dough into 4 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a thin, 1/8-inch thick circle. Evenly spread 1/4 of the walnut mixture onto each circle. Use a pizza wheel to cut each circle into 12 wedge-shaped pieces.
5. Shape each wedge of dough into a crescent by gently rolling it from the wide end towards the center. Carefully transfer the shaped cookies onto the prepared baking sheets.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the nut horns turn a beautiful golden brown, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Monitor the cookies closely during baking, as the bottoms tend to brown more quickly than the tops.
