Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tbsp active dry yeast
1/4 c warm water
1/3 c sugar
1/2 c sour cram
1/2 tsp lemon rind -- grated
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 3/4 c white flour
1/3 c butter, softened
1 egg
3/4 c ready made lemon curd
walnuts -- chopped

Soak the yeast in the warm (105 degrees-115 degrees) water until
dissolved. Add the sugar. Mix well. Heat the sour cream until warm. Add=
to the yeast mixture along with the lemon rind and salt.
Beat in the first measure of eggs. Add enough of the flour to make a soft
dough. Beat the butter into the dough. Turn the dough onto a floured
board and knead until smooth (6-7 minutes). Place the dough in a lightly
buttered bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled
in bulk (45-60 minutes). Punch down.
Roll out on a floured board to form an 18" x 12" rectangle. Spread the
lemon curd on the dough, leaving a 3/4" border on all sides. Carefully
roll up the dough. Slice into 3 1/2" thick slices. Place the rolls in a
well greased (8") pie pan in a circle. Let rise for about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 360=B0.
Lightly beat the second measure of egg. Brush the cake with the beaten
egg. Sprinkle with nuts.
Bake for about 30 minutes.
