- 2 ¼ cups Melted butter, divided
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- ½ pint Sour cream
- 2 ½ lb Ground walnuts
- 7 cups All-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking trays with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar.
- Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast activates and forms a creamy foam.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of melted butter, 3 eggs, and salt until well mixed.
- Incorporate the sour cream.
- Add the flour and the yeast mixture, mixing and kneading until a cohesive dough forms.
- Divide the dough into 7 equal portions.
- In another large bowl, combine the remaining 2 cups of sugar with 1 1/4 cups of melted butter, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Mix in the walnuts until they are evenly coated, then add the cinnamon and vanilla.
- Divide this filling into 7 equal parts.
- Roll out each piece of dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg whites.
- Evenly spread the filling on each rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Lightly brush the borders with egg whites, then roll each rectangle lengthwise like a jelly roll.
- Place each roll, seam-side down, on the prepared baking trays and brush the tops with more egg whites.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until they are lightly browned.
- Allow them to cool completely before slicing and serving.
