Ingredients List
- Dough:
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter
- 2 cups flour, sifted
- 1 egg yolk (saving the white)
- ¾ cup sour cream
- Filling:
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup finely ground walnuts
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Glaze:
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
For dough, cut butter into flour with pastry blender or fork. Add egg yolk and sour cream. Mix well by hand. Shape dough into a ball, sprinkle with flour and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill 3 hours.
For filling, combine sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon in bowl. Set aside.
Heat oven to 350°F. Divide dough into thirds. On lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 14-inch circle. Brush circles with lightly beaten egg white. Sprinkle filling evenly over circle. (Do not over-fill or the filling may seep out and burn.) Cut circle into 12-15 wedges. Starting at the widest end of each wedge, roll to form a tight crescent, bending slightly into a crescent shape.
Gently transfer crescents to parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake crescents until golden brown, 25-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine glaze ingredients in bowl; mix until smooth. After baking, transfer crescents to wire rack with parchment paper underneath it; cool slightly. While crescents are still warm, spoon glaze over them.
