INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cold butter or margarine
• 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 (quart) cherry pie filling
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

DIRECTIONS

1. In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine egg yolk and sour cream; add to crumb mixture and mix well. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Coarsely chop cherries in the pie filling; place in a small bowl. Stir in extract; set aside.
2. Divide dough into quarters. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 12-in. circle. Cut each circle into 12 wedges. Place 1 teaspoon filling at the wide end. Roll up from wide end and place point side down 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Curve ends to form crescent shape.
3. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-24 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Dust with confectioners’ sugar.
