How to Make Old Fashion Sour Cream Twists
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm sour cream (approximately 105-115°F). Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add eggs, shortening, salt, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Beat well.
- Gradually add flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight).
- In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and 1 cup of granulated sugar.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a 12x18 inch rectangle.
- Sprinkle 1/3 of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough.
- Fold the dough into thirds, like a letter.
- Turn the dough 90 degrees and roll it into a 12x18 inch rectangle again. Sprinkle with another 1/3 of the cinnamon-sugar mixture and fold into thirds.
- Repeat step 9 with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the folded dough into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Roll each slice in granulated sugar. Twist each slice gently and place it on an ungreased baking sheet, pressing the ends down to prevent unrolling.
- Let the twists rise for 30 minutes in a warm place.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
