Directions:
Soften yeast in warm water. In a Cuisinart, combine flour, butter, egg yolks, yeast mixture, sour cream and vanilla extract. Pulse until the mixture forms a ball. Wrap ball in Saran Wrap and chill for a few hours.

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Nut filling: Place 4 cups walnuts in the food processor. Process until nuts are reduced to small size. Add sugar, milk and vanilla. Pulse until mixed well.

Split dough into four balls approximately the same size. Roll dough to ¼ inch thickness on floured surface. Cut into 3 inch squares. Put 1 tsp of filling in the center of each square. Bring corners together and moisten edges of pastry with water so they stick together. Bake on cookie sheets covered with parchment paper for 15 minutes. Cool and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. Makes approximately 4 dozen.
