Nut Roll and Poppy Seed Dough

By draingal

Yep, this is my mom's recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 7 or 8 cups flour (yes, you must go by the "feel")
• 1/2 lb. butter or Crisco
• 3 egg yolks
• 1/2 of a moist yeast cube or 2 pkg. dry yeast
• 1 pint milk or 12 oz. can evaporated milk and water to make 2 cups
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Preparation

Step 1

Mix together flour, salt, egg yolks, sugar, sour cream and shortening (if you are using butter - melt it). Dissolve yeast in warm milk (80 - 110 degrees). Add flour mixture and knead well. Set in refrigerator overnight or at least 7 hours chilled. Roll and fill. Let rise at least 20 minutes. Do not grease pans. Bake 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
