How to Make Roszke Aka Nuthorns

  1. Cream together 2 large eggs and 1 cup (2 sticks) of shortening. Gradually add 2 cups of granulated sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 package (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast in ¼ cup warm milk (105-115°F).
  3. Add 5-6 cups all-purpose flour to the creamed mixture, alternating with 1 cup sour cream. Stir in the dissolved yeast and warm milk until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  5. In the morning, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Divide the dough into 8-9 equal pieces.
  6. Shape each piece into a ball, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes. Roll each ball into a 10x10 inch square.
  7. Spread your favorite filling (see optional filling suggestions below) evenly over each square. Roll up tightly from one side, like a jelly roll. Cut into 1-inch thick crescents.
  8. Place crescents onto ungreased baking sheets. Let rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack before dusting generously with powdered sugar.
