- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 Egg, separated
- ⅔ cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup finely chopped walnuts
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the flour and salt; add in the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk, sour cream and vanilla extract; add this to crumb mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

- Roll up each wedge from the wide end and place point side down 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Curve ends to form the shapes into crescents.
- Whisk the egg white until foamy; brush over crescents. Sprinkle with the remaining nut mixture.
- Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks and cool. Store in an airtight container.
