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. Ingredients:
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 |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs, separated |
1/2 cup butter |
1 1/2 lbs ground nutmeats (we use walnuts, 3 1/2 cup) |
1 cup sugar |
3/4 cup milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 cup butter (optional) |
1 teaspoon vanilla (optional) |
2 1/2-3 cups confectioners' sugar (optional) |
2 -3 tablespoons milk (optional) |
Directions:
1. Dough: Dissolve yeast in milk with sugar. Add butter, salt, and egg yolks.

3. Divide dough into 3-4 parts, cover and let rise while preparing filling.
4. Filling: Heat all ingredients in a sauce pan until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool.
