Dough
6 cups flour
1 lb butter
4 tbsp vegetable shortening
1 yeast packet
8 beaten egg yolks
4 tbsp sugar
1 pint whipping cream
Combine yeast and sugar, mixing together. Set mixture aside. Cut butter and vegetable shortening into flour (like pie crust). Make a well in the dough and add the yeast mixture, beaten egg yolks, and 3/4 cream. Mix together like pie crust. If more cream is needed, pour in the rest. Cover bowl with a towel and place in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, take dough out of the refrigerator about 1 1/2 hours before you’re ready to bake.
Filling
1 lb walnuts or pecans
1 cup sugar
8 egg whites
Divide dough into 6 portions. Roll dough into a thin oblong circle. Beat egg whites into a stiff frost and then spread egg whites onto the surface of the rolled dough. Mix sugar and chopped nuts and then sprinkle the mix onto the dough. Roll dough into a pinwheel roll. Bake your nut rolls for 40-45 minutes at 325 degrees.
Icing
Powdered Sugar
Milk
Start with a desired amount of powdered sugar and mix in milk gradually until you get the consistency of icing you want
