Yes, it is the most wonderful time of the year again! Which means we are in baking season. Swedish Twists (or sometimes known as "Sour cream twists") are a family favorite for the Holmberg's! This recipe is perfect for parties, or just something to have around the house to snack on. It also makes a lot of twists! It has the perfect amount of sweetness, without being too overbearing.
You will need:
3 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup margarine (softened)
3/4 cup sour cream
1 package dry yeast
1 egg and 2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
Stir flour and salt, and cut in margarine. Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water (will start to bubble if activated). To the flour mixture, add yeast, sour cream, eggs and vanilla. Mix well; cover with a damp cloth and refrigerate for two hours.
Roll half of dough on sugared board (1 cup). Make an oblong 8" x 16". Fold ends toward center, ends overlapping. Sprinkle with sugar, roll again. Repeat a third time. Roll 1/4 inch thick. Cut into strips (1"x 4"). Twist ends in opposite direction, stretching slightly. Place on ungreased cookie sheet, pressing ends to keep shape. Repeat with rest of dough, which had been kept chilled. Bake 15 minutes at 375 degrees. Remove from pan immediately. Makes about five dozen twists.
