Italian Sour Cream Horns Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Unfold puff pastry sheet and use a pizza cutter to slice pastry into 6 even strips. Wrap each strip around a conical cream horn mold starting at the pointed end. Place rolled molds on a baking sheet with the end of the dough strip facing down.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 12 minutes.
• Remove horns from oven and allow to cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes, before carefully removing molds.
• Beat cream cheese and sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 1 minute. Add lemon juice and vanilla extract and beat until blended. Fold in whipped topping until filling is smooth and fluffy.
• Fill a pastry bag with cream filling and pipe filling evenly into each horn. Dust horns with confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Cut butter into flour in a bowl using 2 knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add sour cream and egg yolk; mix well. Shape the dough into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
• Combine walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
• Cut dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 1/8-inch thick circle on a lightly floured surface. Spread 1/4 of the walnut mixture on each circle; cut each circle into 12 wedge-shaped pieces with a pizza wheel.
• Shape each piece of dough into a crescent by rolling dough from the wide end of the wedge into the center. Transfer cookies carefully to the baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Watch cookies carefully as they bake; their bottoms tend to brown faster than their tops.

Steps:

• For dough: Dissolve yeast in warm water. Sift flour; add salt. Add butter, eggs yolks, sour cream.
• , vanilla and dissolved yeast mixture to flour mixture; work with hands until a moist dough forms. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or overnight.
• Divide dough into eight pieces. Dust rolling pin and work surfaces with powdered sugar. Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll out dough to about 1/8 inch thickness (slightly thinner than pie dough, more like noodle dough).
• Cut dough into a circle approximately 8 inches in diameter. (You may want to use a stainless steel bowl and just press out a circle). Refrigerate dough circle. Continue rolling and cutting remaining dough, refrigerating circles as you go. Re-roll leftover dough pieces and cut into circles.
• Cut each circle of dough into 16 triangular pieces or wedges.
• For filling: Beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add sugar; beat until stiff. Fold in pecans and vanilla.
• Spread 1/2 teaspoon filling on each triangle of dough; roll up, beginning with largest end. Place roll, small end down, on greased cookie sheet.
• Bake in a 350 degrees F oven 10 to 12 minutes, or until slightly browned on bottom. Immediately transfer to racks to cool.
• Sift powdered sugar over cooled cookies. Store in airtight container. Yield: About 10 dozen cookies.

Steps:

• Cut margarine into flour.
• Add egg yolk and sour cream.
• Shape into 4 balls and let them chill in the refrigerator (usually overnight).
• Roll balls into a circle so the dough is thin.
• Combine the sugar, cinnamon, and walnuts in a separate bowl.
• Sprinkle the dough with the nut mixture.
• Cut the dough into 16 triangle pieces.
• Roll each section.
• Once placed on cookie sheet, brush with the egg white and if desired, sprinkle a little bit of the nut mixture on top.
• Bake 25 min at 350.
