Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup warm water
1 package active dry yeast
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup crushed almonds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten for egg wash
1 tablespoon milk for glaze
1/2 cup powdered sugar for glaze

Instructions

3. Stir in sour cream and the yeast mixture until a dough forms. Chill for 1 hour.
4. On a floured surface, roll out dough and spread remaining 1/2 cup butter over the top. Fold and roll the dough several times to incorporate the butter.
