4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cake yeast or 1 pkg.
1 1/4 c. butter
3 egg yolks, beaten
1/2 c. sour cream
Sift flour and add salt and crumble yeast into flour mixture. Cut in butter. Add egg yolks, sour cream, and vanilla. Mix well. Place in wax paper and chill while filling is being made.
FILLING: Beat 3 egg whites until stiff. Add 1 cup sugar gradually. Fold in 1/4 pound finely chopped nuts and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Dredge board with powdered sugar instead of flour. Divide dough into 8 parts. Roll out each part to size of pie tin. Cut into 8 wedges. Spread 1 teaspoon of filling on each wedge. Roll toward center. Place on greased pan immediately and bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes. When cooled, sift powdered sugar over top.
