I found this little bit, a while ago... never made it though. I love them too!

Creme Horns

4 cups of All purpose Flour
1-1/2 cups butter

Mix by hand and then add beat together
3 egg yolks
1 cup of sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chill for 1 hour or more
Mix together 3/4 cup powdered sugar with 1/2 cup flour.
(this is for rolling out)
Take a handfull of dough and roll out on floured surface
with the above
mixture.
Roll out thin and cut into 1" wide and about 6" long strips.
Roll these strips around round clothes pins covered in aluminum
foil, slightly overlapping dough as you work your way down the tube.
Making it look like creme horns.
Put on cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes
While semi warm, twist pastry off tubes.

I love creme horns too, I always have to make sure I stay away from the bakery section in the store so that I don't buy them.

How about a recipe for the fluffy creme?

you can make really easy ones ( i know this is cheating) Use the puff pastry dough from the frozen section of the store. Cut the dough into strips and wrap it around a foil covered and buttered empty paper towel roll. Brush the tops of the horns with either milk or egg whites sprinkle with decorators sugar and bake as per package directions. Then fill with either sweet whipped cream or stabilized whipped cream of the flavor of your choosing.
If you want really really super super omg simple (really cheatin now!!!) Just use the crescent rolls you find in the dairy section.

p.s. I forgot, o yeah you might want to remove em off the paper towel thingy before ya fill em.
O well, I'm only human. Have they found a cure for that yet???

Fill them with the Whipped Cream Buttercream Frosting, I bet that would taste great! And it doesn't have to be put in the fridge. Everyone here at my house thinks that it taste just like the cream inside the creamhorns anyway thumbs_up.gif
