Time 33m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
13 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
1 egg yolk
3/4 cups sour cream
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine the four and salt. Add in the cubed butter and cut in using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture is crumbly. Add in the egg yolk and sour cream and stir until combined and the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in cling wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • For the filling, in a small bowl combine the light brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Divide the dough into 3, equal portions. Roll each portion out on a floured surface into a thin circle, 12-inches in diameter. Sprinkle 1/3 of the filling mixture onto each dough round.
  • Using a pizza cutter, cut each round into 12 equal wedges. Roll up each wedge, starting at the wide edge tightly. Place onto the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down and pinched.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the butterhorns are lightly golden. Some of the filling might leak out, this is fine.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
