Kiflies are crescent-shaped pastries that originated in Hungary. They are traditionally enjoyed as breakfast pastries or as a sweet snack with coffee or tea. The dough is made with sour cream and egg yolks, resulting in a flaky and buttery pastry that is then filled with a sweet walnut mixture and covered in a sugar glaze. Kiflies are a delicious and indulgent treat that is perfect for sharing with loved ones on a lazy weekend morning.

Instructions

1.In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, 1/2 cup of sour cream, 8 medium egg yolks, grated lemon rind, and sugar until a dough is formed.
2.Roll the dough out onto a floured surface, and then cut it into 1-inch strips.
3.In a separate mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 lb of butter and the ground walnuts to create the filling.
4.Spread the filling onto each strip of dough, and then roll them up into a crescent shape.
5.Beat the 8 egg whites until they are stiff, and then slowly fold in the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice until well combined.
6.Brush each crescent with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sour cream, and then dip them into the egg white mixture.
7.Place the kiflies onto a baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
