Nut Strudel That Melts In Your Mouth
Makes about 60 slices
Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. butter or margarine
2 c. all-purpose flour
Filling:
1 c. sugar
1/3 c. milk
1/2 pound ground walnuts or pecans
Confectioners' sugar
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until well combined. Add flour and mix well. Shape dough into a ball, cover and chill for 1-2 hours.
For Filling: In a saucepan, cook sugar and milk over medium heat until milk boils and sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally. Stir in nuts. Remove from heat, cool until its spreadable.
When dough is chilled, roll out on a lightly floured surface to form an 18x12-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise into two strips. Spread each strip with nut filling. Starting from long side, roll up each strip, jelly-roll style. (Cut rolls crosswise in half to fit on baking sheets.) Place seam-side down, on
ungreased cookie sheets. Cut into generous 1/2-inch thick slices without separating. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until done. Let cool slightly. Remove strudel from pan and cool completely on wire racks.
Dust with confectioners' sugar. Slice into individual servings, cover and
refrigerate or freeze.
With the weather being so crazy across the country, be prepared with this "Sidekick", 10 band radio/flashlight.
Great for hikers, campers and hunters too!
