CINNAMON WALNUT BUTTERHORNS 
1 1/2 c. milk, scalded
1/2 c. butter
3 eggs
1/2 c. sugar
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1/4 c. warm water, 110 degrees
6 c. all-purpose flour

FILLING:

1/2 c. soft butter
1/2 c. sugar
2 tbsp. cinnamon
1 c. chopped walnuts

FOR GLAZE:

1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp. milk

1. In large bowl, combine hot milk and butter. Stir until butter is melted. Cool. Add eggs and sugar.

2. Dissolve yeast in the warm water. Let stand 5 minutes until bubbly. Add to milk mixture.

3. Beat in flour, by hand or with heavy duty mixer, keeping dough satiny.

6. Spread each quarter with 1/4 of the butter. Mix sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle 1/4 of it over the butter. Sprinkle with 1/4 of the walnuts.

7. Cut into 8 equal wedges. Roll each wedge starting with the wide end to make a crescent shape. Place on greased cookie sheet.
