Keflla

From the kitchen of Grandma Winchel.

2 Tbsp. sugar

4 C. + flour
1 pint sour cream

Knead with more flour like I said when when picking out a hunk of dough with a spoon the spoon comes clean.  You have enough flour.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 mins or till lightly brown.

Roll out dough on squared board.  Roll like pie crust and cut.  Roll each square from corner to corner, sugar and bend.

Add pieces mix with fresh dough and roll out.  If you save add pieces and try to bake too much sugar after dough is mixed.  Refrigerate all night.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 mins or till lightly brown.
