Pecan Strudel - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 c. flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 c. butter
1 pkg. dry yeast
1/4 c. hot water
1 c. sour cream
3 egg yolks

Preparation

Sift flour and measure. Add sugar, salt and cut in butter (as for a pie crust). Add yeast to the 1/4 cup hot water to dissolve, then combine with sour cream and egg yolks and add to first mixture. More flour may be needed to form a soft smooth dough. Place in bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight. Next morning, form into 3 balls. Roll each into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread with filling and roll up as a jelly roll. Let rise for one hour. Bake in 350\u00b0 oven for 40 minutes. Ice while warm and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
