Ingredients
- 4 3/4 c. Unsifted all-purpose flour
- 2 c. Butter or possibly margarine
- 4 lrg Egg yolks, slightly beaten
- 1 c. Lowfat sour cream
- 1 1/4 lb Shelled walnuts (about 5 C.), grnd
- 1 c. Granulated sugar
- 1/2 c. Lowfat milk
- 1 Tbsp. Almond extract
- 1 lrg Egg, beaten Confectioners' sugar
Directions
- Make dough: in a large bowl, place the flour and the butter. Using a pastry blender or possibly two knives, cut the butter into the flour till the mix resembles coarse crumbs. Add in the egg yolks and lowfat sour cream; stir with a fork till combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board or possibly pastry cloth. Knead the dough with your hands till it is smooth and can be shaped into a ball. If dough is too sticky, knead in more flour. If you like, wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill.
- Make filling: in a medium-sized bowl, place the grnd walnuts, granulated sugar, lowfat milk and almond extract.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir in walnut mix till ingredients are thoroughly combined. Prehead oven to 400F. Grease baking sheets with solid vegetable shortening.
- To shape Kifli: divide the dough into quarters; wrap three of the quarters separately in plastic wrap and set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the remaining quarter of the dough to a 15" x 12" rectangle which is 1/8" thick.
- Using a pastry wheel, cut the rectangle of dough into 3-inch squares. Place a heaping tsp. of the walnut filling in the center of each square; bring one corner of the dough over the filling to the opposite corner; healthy pinch edges together.
- Place Kifli on baking sheets; brush with the beaten egg. Bake for 10 min or possibly till cookies are golden. Remove from the baking sheet. Fill the bottom of a pie place with confectioners' sugar. Roll Kifli in the sugar. Let cold on wire racks. Repeat steps with the remaining three quarters of dough.
