My mother shared this recipe with me over 30 years ago. Nut horns are especially nice for buffets because they are easy to pick up and eat with your fingers. They also freeze well.

GERMAN BUTTERHORNS



German Butterhorns image

This is a fabulous old recipe...the pastry has yeast in it yet requires no rising or kneading! This recipe is great for bakers who are not yet experts- These butterhorns are shaped like cresents and are beautiful anytime of the year but are extra special to serve during the holidays. I did see this recipe posted on another sight but not here on zaar. This recipe does take a bit of time but it is sooo worth it!!!! Please note that you need to refrigerate the pastry dough for at least 6hrs (I usually do mine overnight to split the work up:)-I did not include this time in the prep time. Please note that this recipe asks that you roll the dough out on a surface sprinkled with powdered sugar-not flour...please make sure you have enough before hand.

OLD WORLD BUTTER HORNS



Old World Butter Horns image

Light and flaky filled cookie. One of my mother's dear friends, a woman of German heritage, shared this recipe with her more than 40 years ago. At the time, it had been in her family for more than 100 years! It has always been my favorite cookie for special occasions and still is. We use two variations for the filling: the traditional orange date nut filling provided here or, mincemeat, a family favorite, during the holiday season. The filled cookies freeze well and can be baked off straight from the freezer. For best results, be certain that the dough is thoroughly chilled before rolling out and that the filling has cooled completely before use.

  • Remove chilled dough balls from the refrigerator one at a time and sprinkle with flour.
  • Roll each ball into a 8-10 inch circle on a well floured surface.
  • Cut circles into 8 wedges (pie slice style).
  • Place 1 teaspoons of cooled filling near edge of wide end of wedge, roll up towards small end and form each cookie into a crescent (horn).
  • Place folded side down on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven (400F) for 15-20 minutes.
  • Place on rack to cool and sprinkle immediately with powdered sugar.
  • FILLING.
  • Place all filling ingredients into heavy saucepan (cast iron preferred).
  • While stirring continuously, cook until it forms a thick solid sticky mass.
