--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      tbsp          active dry yeast
     1/4  c             warm water
     1/3  c             sugar
     1/2  c             sour cream
     1/2  tsp           lemon rind -- grated
     1/4  tsp           salt
   2                    eggs
   2 3/4  c             white flour
     1/3  c             butter, softened
   1                    egg
     3/4  c             ready made lemon curd
                        walnuts -- chopped

Soak the yeast in the warm (105-115 degrees F) water until dissolved.
Add the sugar.  Mix well.  Heat the sour cream until warm. Add to the
yeast mixture along with the lemon rind and salt.

Beat in the first measure of eggs.  Add enough of the flour to make a
soft dough.  Beat the butter into the dough.  Turn the dough onto a
floured board and knead until smooth (6-7 minutes).  Place the dough
in a lightly buttered bowl.  Cover tightly with plastic wrap.  Let
rise until doubled in bulk (45-60 minutes).  Punch down.

Roll out on a floured board to form an 18x12" rectangle.  Spread the
lemon curd on the dough, leaving a 3/4" border on all sides.
Carefully roll up the dough.  Slice into 3 1/2" thick slices.  Place
the rolls in a well greased (8") pie pan in a circle.  Let rise for
about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 360°F.

Lightly beat the second measure of egg.  Brush the cake with the
beaten egg.  Sprinkle with nuts.

Bake for about 30 minutes.
