I confess I
used this recipe from "Fleishmann's Yeast Best Ever Breads", with my
own favorite sweet roll dough but used their idea for shaping and filling the
sweet rolls, because they used half a recipe of refrigerator dough and I wanted
mine right away and didn’t want leftover dough.
My husband
raved about these!
Lemon Nut Twists
Dough
1/2
cup Milk -- Combine with water
and heat to 120° to 130°
2
tablespoons Water
2 1/4
cups Flour, All-purpose -- (10
1/8 ounces)
2
tablespoons Sugar
1/2
teaspoon Salt
1
teaspoon Instant Yeast
2 tablespoons
Butter
1/2
large Egg or 1 egg yolk
Filling
2
Tablespoons Butter
1/3
Cup Brown Sugar
1
Tablespoon Lemon Peel -- grated
1/2
Cup Slivered Almonds -- toasted,
chopped coarsely
Frosting
4
Teaspoons Fresh Lemon Juice
1
Cup Powdered Sugar
Dough: In large mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar,
salt, yeast, softened butter and egg .
Add milk and water mixture; beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often,
until smooth - 1-2 minutes. Add
remaining flour until dough leaves sides of bowl.
Change to
dough hook and knead on setting 2 for5- 6 minutes. Let rise in bowl, in warm place, covered, 20
minutes. Punch down dough. Prepare
filling while dough is rising.
Filling: Combine ingredients and reserve. (Toast nuts on a shallow pan in a 350° oven
3-5 minutes; watch carefully so they don’t burn). I chopped mine a little with a sharp knife.
Shaping: Roll the dough to 21 x 8"
rectangle. Melt 2 tablespoons
butter. Brush middle third of dough (a 7
x 8" portion) with half of butter, sprinkle with half of filling. Fold one of the remaining dough thirds over
filling. Brush folded dough with
remaining butter; sprinkle with remaining filling. Fold remaining dough third over filling;
pinch edges to seal. Cut into eight
1" wide strips. Twist each strip 2
or 3 times. Place on greased baking
sheet, cover; let rise about 20 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from baking sheet and let cool on rack.
Drizzle with icing.
Icing:
Combine powdered sugar and lemon juice, stir until smooth.

I did a search for the Packwood Cookbook and found your website. Brings back so many memories. The Packwood Cookbook has been my favorite cookbook ever since it came out years ago.
ReplyDeleteI grew up just 1 1/2 miles south of Abington (Bogus) - our address was Batavia. I'm not sure what part of area you are from, but love the pictures of the farms and countryside. I now live in Wisconsin and don't get to the area very often.
