Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, cut butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat egg yolk and sour cream; add to crumb mixture and mix well. Chill several hours or overnight. Divide dough into fourths. On a sugared surface, roll each portion into a 10-in. circle. Turn dough over to sugar top side. Combine preserves and pecans; spread over circles. Cut each circle into 12 wedges and roll each wedge into a crescent shape, starting at the wide end. Sprinkle with sugar. Place point side down 1" apart on ungreased baking sheets (line with parchment for easier clean-up!). Bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes or until set and very lightly browned. Immediately remove to wire racks to cool
