Dough
7 g sachet active dry yeast
2 cups sifted flour
1/2 cup margarine
2 egg yolks

Preparation
-
Put sifted flour into large mixing bowl. Mix in yeast. Cut in margarine with pastry blender until mixture is crumbly.
Add egg yolks and sour cream; mix well. Form into a ball. On lightly floured board, knead until smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. Divide dough into 3 equal parts. Wrap in wax paper. Chill in refrigerator at least 1 hour.
Combine walnuts, sugar and vanilla extract. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Set aside.
On a board sprinkled with confectioners sugar, roll each part of dough into an 8-inch circle; cut each into 8 pie-shape wedges.
Fill wide end of each wedge with 1 tablespoon walnut filling. Roll up from wide end to point. Place on greased baking sheet, curving ends to form crescent shape.
Bake at 375 degrees F about 25 minutes or until golden brown. Dust with confectioners sugar.
