Belle Goldstein's Strudle

By Cyndi645

Belle gave me her "secret" recipe while we were sitting at the pool at Midvale. We bowled together on the same team for the women's league. Poor woman was diagnosed in later years with Alzheimers and had to be put in a nursing home!

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb softened butter
• 1/2 pt sour cream
• 2 1/4 c flour
• 1/4 t almond flavoring
• apricot jam
• coconut
• crushed walnuts
• raisins

Preparation

Step 1

Cream the butter, sour cream and flavoring and mix with the flour. Put in waxed paper and shape into a ball. Refrigerate overnight.

Roll the dough from side to side to measure about 4 inches wide and flip onto ungreased cookie sheets. Layer the dough with apricot jam, coconut, crushed nuts and sprinkle with raisings. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes, lower temp to 350 for another 25 minutes.
