Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
- Work butter into the flour mixture with your fingers until well incorporated.
- Crumble yeast into lukewarm milk and let it sit until bubbly.
- Add egg yolks to the yeast mixture and stir.
- Combine the yeast mixture and egg yolks with the flour mixture, working into a firm dough.
- Wrap the dough and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Spread filling over the rolled dough, then roll up into a log and shape into a crescent.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier texture, ensure your butter is very cold when working it into the flour. If you don't have lard or Crisco, you can substitute with additional butter. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour until it reaches the desired consistency. For a flavorful twist, consider adding some vanilla extract to the filling.
Serving Suggestions
These Nut Horns make a delightful treat for coffee time or as a dessert after a meal. They pair beautifully with a cup of tea or coffee. Consider serving them alongside a light fruit salad or a slice of Lime Snow for a refreshing complement. Dust with extra powdered sugar just before serving for an elegant touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Rozky in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them to extend freshness, but allow them to come to room temperature before serving. Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 5-10 minutes to restore their crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of filling for the Rozky?
Absolutely! While the traditional filling is often made with nuts, you can experiment with fruit preserves, chocolate, or even a cream cheese mixture. Just ensure that the filling isn't too wet, as it can affect the dough's texture.
What if my dough doesn't rise?
If your dough doesn't rise, it might be due to inactive yeast. Make sure your yeast is fresh and the milk is lukewarm, not hot, when combining. If the dough has been refrigerated for too long, let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before rolling it out.
Can I freeze Rozky before baking?
Yes, you can freeze the shaped Rozky before baking. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring them to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, there's no need to thaw; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
