NUT ROLL 
1 cake compressed yeast
1 tbsp. lukewarm water
1/2 tsp. sugar
3 1/2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
3 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter (1/4 lb.)
3 eggs
1/2 c. dairy sour cream

NUT FILLING:

1 lb. ground nuts
1 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Milk (enough to make mixture moist)

Crumble yeast into lukewarm water; stir in 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Set aside.

Sift flour, 3 tablespoons sugar and the salt into mixing bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Beat eggs, yeast and sour cream together. Add to flour mixture; mix until blended.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead a few minutes until dough is smooth. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each portion into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle.

Combine ingredients for filling. Spread dough with filling; roll up like jelly roll, beginning on long side. Place on greased baking sheet. Make slits on top of roll about 1 inch apart. Cover and let rise in warm place for 2 hours.

Brush top of each roll with beaten egg. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 4 rolls.
