Steps:
- 1. Put yeast in sour cream. Add egg yolks. Mix well. Let stand.
- 2. Cut shortening and lard in flour. Add sugar. Mix in the yeast mixture and add vanilla. Mix well. Refrigerate over night (at least 6 hours) or up to several days.
- 3. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Using about a fourth of the dough at a time, keeping the remaining dough in the refrigerator, roll dough out onto a floured surface into about a 9 inch circle. Cut into 16 crescent shapes from circle. (like very small pizza slices) :) (see how nice and even mine are? lol!) Doesnt matter, they still taste wonderful!
- 4. FOR THE NUT FILLING: Combine all ingredients and mix well.
- 5. Spoon a tiny bit of filling onto the broad end of the crescent slices and roll from broad side to short side like a crescent. Place seam side down, pressing gently to make sure they dont unroll.
- 6. Bake @ 325 degrees for 15-20 minutes until just golden. Let cool on racks. Before serving, powder with powdered sugar. These can be frozen for later use. Bring to room temperature and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
