Time 4h40m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 12

7 ½ cups walnuts
¾ cup butter
½ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons maple flavoring
6 cups sifted all-purpose flour, divided, or as needed
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 cup butter
½ cup water
3 large eggs at room temperature

Steps:

  • Place walnuts in a food processor. Process until roughly ground.
  • Melt 3/4 cup butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar until dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add ground walnuts and maple flavoring; stir to combine.
  • Mix 2 cups flour, yeast, 3 tablespoons sugar, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Combine sour cream, 1 cup butter, and water in a saucepan over low heat. Warm until melted, about 2 minutes; do not boil. Remove from heat; let stand until cool enough to dip a finger in, about 3 minutes.
  • Add sour cream mixture to the flour mixture slowly. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl as you go. Add eggs and 1 additional cup flour; stir briefly to combine. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes more. Stir in remaining flour 1 cup at a time until a soft dough forms.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured surface; knead several times and roll into a ball. Let rise for 10 minutes. Grease 2 jelly roll pans.
  • Divide dough into 4 pieces; roll each out to a 14x12-inch rectangle. Spread 1/4 of the filling over each rectangle, leaving a 1-inch space around all edges. Roll each up lengthwise, jelly-roll fashion; pinch seams closed. Place, seams down, on the prepared pans. Cover with a damp cloth; let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 35 minutes. Place rolls on a rack to cool completely, 2 to 3 hours.
