Vanillahorns Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Unfold puff pastry sheet and use a pizza cutter to slice pastry into 6 even strips. Wrap each strip around a conical cream horn mold starting at the pointed end. Place rolled molds on a baking sheet with the end of the dough strip facing down.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 12 minutes.
• Remove horns from oven and allow to cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes, before carefully removing molds.
• Beat cream cheese and sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 1 minute. Add lemon juice and vanilla extract and beat until blended. Fold in whipped topping until filling is smooth and fluffy.
• Fill a pastry bag with cream filling and pipe filling evenly into each horn. Dust horns with confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar together. Add vanilla. Add almonds. Add the flour slowly until you can shape the dough with your hands. You may find it necessary to add a little more flour. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
• Shape approximately 1 1/2 - 2 T dough into crescent moon shapes. Bake at 350 degrees on ungreased baking sheets for about 15 minutes, until light tan. Remove from oven, cool slightly and roll in powdered sugar to coat.

Steps:

• Combine cream cheese, ricotta, olives with pimiento and garlic in processor bowl and process until smooth.
• To make each horn, place a piece of prosciutto on work surface and spread with a layer of cheese, top that layer with a slice each of Genoa and ham layered next to each other. Spread more cheese over the salami and ham and place a bread stick and a celery stick at 1 end of the meats with ends hanging off to the side. Wrap and roll the meat forming a fancy Italian horn. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Arrange a platter with antipasti and garnish with a pile of Italian horns.

Steps:

• Sprinkle yeast onto warm water. Stir gently and let sit until foamy and frothy, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the yeast is proofing, place butter in a saucepan with milk and white sugar. Turn heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until butter melts and sugar dissolves, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and pour into a large mixing bowl; let cool until just very warm to the touch and about 120 degrees F (49 degrees C), 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add 3 cups flour, kosher salt, yeast mixture, and egg; mix gently with a spatula until it all comes together and forms a very thick and wet batter. Add remaining 3/4 cup flour and mix with your fingers, incorporating just the amount of flour you need, until dough comes together into a soft, sticky ball.
• Cover and let rise until almost doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
• Grease the bowl with butter. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
• Transfer dough back to a work surface and press it into a 1-inch thick circle. Flip over and continue pressing until circle is 1/2-inch thick; use a rolling pin if needed to achieve correct thickness. Use a pizza tool to cut dough into 12 equal wedges.
• Starting at the larger end of one wedge, roll toward the point, stretching the ends of the dough out for the first few inches. Pinch and press the point into the dough to seal and place, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Let rolls sit until they puff up a little, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until cooked through and just starting to turn a light golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and immediately brush hot rolls with melted butter. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Sift together flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Cut in shortening until dough resembles pie dough. Add egg yolks, vanilla and sour cream. Mix with hands until dough forms a ball. Divide into 5 even balls and refrigerate for 6 hrs or overnight.
• When ready to roll out the dough make the filling by beating the egg whites until stiff. Add sugar and vanilla; beat well. Fold in walnuts.
• Sprinkle bread board with powdered sugar and roll each ball of dough into a 12 inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 pie shaped pieces. Spread with filling and roll up, starting at the wide end.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Butter horns will be a light golden color when done.
• At this time in a small sauce pan melt the butter for the glaze, remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar and the almond extract -- add a bit more butter or sugar as needed so that you can dip the tops of the butterhorns in the glaze and place on wax paper to set up.
• Enjoy!
