Good, nutty predominant taste, next time I'll add a little salt. they tasted better a few hours later than they did right out of the oven. Dough is sticky - keep it cool and roll it on a floured pastry cloth rather than a Tupperware or similar plastic surface or you won't be able to roll the cut circles. For a 4" cutter I cut a deli container 1.5" from the bottom - the cut edge was exactly 4" diameter and worked fine. spread the filling only to within 1/2" of edges or else you can't pinch the ends of the roll closed.

I have been a Central Illinois resident all my life.
My hobbies include fishing with my husband, reading, counted cross stitch, and of course, cooking (especially baking)!
I currently work in an office, behind a desk, pushing paper. My dream would be to open my own bakery.
Spending time in the kitchen is very relaxing to me, and it keeps me connected to my domestic side!
