Sift dry ingredients.
Blend in Crisco or butter/Crisco mixture.
Dissolve yeast in a little lukewarm water, add to flour mixture.
lightly beat eggs.
Add eggs and sour cream.
Blend well and refrigerate over night. Dough will be moist and airy.
Filling-Blend all ingredients together.
To form---Take small (softball size is what I used) pieces of dough and roll out in powdered sugar (using as much sugar as needed about 1/2-1 pound) into a circle.
Cut into 8 pie slices.
Put filling on thick side and roll from large end to point.
You can top the filling with some mini cips if desired.
Place on a greased cookie sheet or parchment paper and top with cinnamon and sugar mixture adding crushed nuts if desired.
Bake at 375 Degrees for 20-25 minutes.
