FILLING

~ this is my great grandmother's recipe who came from Hungary when she was a teenager, having already been matched by her family to my greet grandfather who was Hungarian also, and had moved to America a few years before.

Heat milk, add sugar, walnuts and stir. Add butter & lemon juice and combine. Remove and let cool.

In large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, sugar, salt & yeast. On stove put sour cream, water and butter in sauce pan. Heat till very warm, don't boil (OK ~ if butter doesn't melt all the way). Add to dry ingredients, beat 2 minutes at med. speed on mixer. Add eggs, and 1 cup flour, beat at high 2 minutes. Stir in flour to make soft dough (sticky). Knead a few times, rest 10 minutes. Divide into 4 pieces - take 1, cover rest. Roll into 14" X 12" rectangle. Spread each with ¼ cup filling - don't spread to edges and be careful not to tear dough. Roll up like a jelly roll and tuck ends underneath. Put on greased sheet, cover and let rise till double (~1 hour). Repeat with other 3 sections of dough. Brush with beaten egg. Bake 350 F for 35 minutes or until golden brown.

Often times I make extra filling so I can use more on each loaf, since I love it and ¼ cup doesn't always do it for me. These can be frozen.
