You need just a few ingredients to make these elegant and delicious walnut horns from Loretta Stokes of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. âThe dough can be made ahead of time and refrigerated 5 to 7 days,â says Loretta. Ingredients:
1 cup plus 1 teaspoon butter, softened, divided |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
4 cups ground walnuts |
1-1/4 cups sugar, divided |
1/2 cup 2% milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup butter and the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour, beating until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough into four portions; roll each into a 12-in. circle. 2. Melt the remaining butter. In a large bowl, combine the walnuts, 3/4 cup sugar, milk, vanilla, salt and melted butter. Spread over circles. Cut each into 12 wedges. Roll up wedges, starting from the wide ends. 3. Place point side down on greased baking sheets. Curve ends to form crescents. Bake at 325° for 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks. 4. Place remaining sugar in a small shallow bowl. Roll warm cookies in sugar. Yield: 4 dozen. |
