By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• Dough:
• 4 C Flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 C Butter
• 4 egg yolks
• 1/2 C thick sour cream
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 pkg dry yeast
• Filling:
• 4 eggs whites room temperature
• 1 C sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 1 C finely chopped pecans

Preparation

Step 1

*+Dough:+*
Mix together and divide into 8 equal size balls and keep covered with a damp rag so they will keep moist.

*+Filling:+*
Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, add sugar slowly, this basically makes a meringue, add the finely chopped pecans and mix well.

Roll each dough ball in sugar until you have about a 12" round, spread with 1/8 of the filling then cut into triangles like you would for crescent rolls. Roll as you would crescent rolls. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 17-20 minutes. I line my baking sheets with silicone or parchment paper to keep from sticking.
