"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:  
2 C. flour
1 C. butter or margarine, softened
3 Egg Yolks
2 T. vinegar

Directions:
Directions:
Mix flour and butter as for pie crust. In a small bowl, mix together 3 egg yolks, vinegar and water and then add to dry ingredients. Make into 4 uniform balls and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate dough overnight (or at least 6 hours). Roll each dough into circle, as thin as possible.
Mix walnuts with sugar and enough cherry juice to hold it together. Mix cake mix as directed on box -- do NOT bake -- this is part of the filling. Spread cake mix on rolled out dough, sprinkle with cherries and nut mixture, roll up like a jelly roll and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 325 for 25 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar as they come out of oven

Personal Notes:
Wow, I didn't even realize I had this recipe, but glad I found it. Grandma Leeson always made this when we visited -- as I recall it is very sweet -- but very good -- probably fun to make it and "remember" it. Best part is, we now have her recipe for the strudel dough -- you could make any kind of strudel out of the basic dough.
