Walnut Crescents - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Dough
    1 lb Crisco (I used 1/2 very cold sweet butter and 1/2 Crisco)
    4 lightly beaten eggs
    5 cups flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 (1/3 ounce) package dry yeast
    1/2 pint sour cream or 1/2 pint yogurt
    Filling
    1 lb ground walnuts
    1/2 cup honey
    1/2 cup warm milk
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/3 cup chocolate chips (optional)
    Topping
    sugar
    cinnamon
    nuts
    Rolling dough
    powdered sugar
Preparation
    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.
