Nut Horns

Knit-Chick — Tue, 05 Dec 2023 18:40:53 GMT

My mom used to make wonderful nut horns and I don't have her recipe. I have found several online which are all pretty similiar, except some call for walnuts and some call for pecans. I can't remember what she used, so was just curious what nut others used. Thank you!

We always used walnuts in our nut horn recipe.

@Knit-Chick........I don't know if there's still a recipe around, but I do know that my mother always used walnuts. BTW, nut horns are too delicious......can't stop at just one, lol. Good luck with yours and Happy Holidays!

Walnuts or pecans but I bet almonds would work as well.

I had to look these up and now want a dozen!

Does anyone have a favorite recipe they can share?

There are SO many online I can't tell which is a good one.

TIA !!!!!

@Suzeecat thank you! I'm 99% sure now that my mom also used walnuts. I don't think I remember her every using pecans in anything. Thanks so much taking time to respond

@RNbynite thanks so much! I'm pretty sure my mom used walnuts too. That was 40 years ago - making them with her in the basement kitchen. I've been missing her alot lately and was thinking about her cookies. Thank you again, appreciate it

I noticed that too as I was looking at recipes. She always called them nut horns. Looks like it's a pretty easy dough, just takes time to roll them. Hoping I can get my husband to help!

@Knit-Chick

i always bought rugalach - but they seem easy enough to make

just time consuming all the filling components

i always relied on Ina G or ATK for recipes

they both have recipes on youtube - always good to see how it is done

i see your name is knit chick - what to you knit?

i learned a few years ago - 2018 or 2019

i'm a warm person so no sweaters for me

mainly socks - since i do wear socks

@Yahooey Hi! so sorry for the delayed response Yes I knit, but mostly easy things like scarves and shawls. I just finished up a shawl in a very nice sockweight yarn. I've never done anything more complicated, but I would love to try socks! Do you knit those on double pointed needles?

Re: Nut Horns

Yahooey — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 17:28:08 GMT

@Knit-Chick

i do work on double pointed when it gets too small a circumference

but i bought a Chia Goo fix circumference for socks - so it goes quickly

i would love to see some pics

my most difficult proiject bc of juggling the many yarn balls at the same time

my most FUN is
