Kiflis

This recipe came from my daughter's American Girl magazine. A great treat if you are studying eastern Europe.

Kiflis

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup cream cheese
• pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon sour cream
• 2 cups flour
• jam(tart jams such as raspberry or apricot work best)

Cream together the butter, cream cheese, salt, and sour cream. Stir in the flour. On a floured surface, knead the dough with your hands until it's smooth. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for three hours.

Place the chilled dough on a lightly floured countertop. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough thin (about 1/8"). With a table knife, cut the dough into 3 inch squares. Spread one corner of each square with jam. Starting in that corner, roll up each square, then curve in the ends to form a crescent.

Gently place the crescents on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are beginning to turn golden.
