Instructions

  1. 1 Make the pudding: Place wheat berries in a 3-quart saucepan; add boiling water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a rolling boil. Let boil for 15 seconds, then drain and discard the water. Repeat five times: add boiling water, bring to a boil, boil for 15 seconds, drain.
  2. 2 Cover wheat berries again by 2 inches with boiling water. Stir in salt and bring to a boil. Boil for 15 seconds, then remove from the heat without draining. Place the pan on a folded blanket, cover, and wrap with towels or blankets. Let sit at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight.
  3. 3 The next day, drain any water that hasn't been absorbed. Grind wheat berries thoroughly in a food processor. (If you use a blender, work in very small batches.) Transfer ground wheat to a bowl and clean the food processor.
  4. 4 Grind walnuts in the food processor until fine. Add confectioners' sugar and process until mixture resembles fine meal. Add ground wheat and pulse until well combined.
  5. 5 Spoon pudding into a glass trifle bowl or serving dish. Stick slivered almonds into pudding to resemble a porcupine.
  6. 6 Make the topping: Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  7. 7 Serve pudding in 2-tablespoon portions in small decorative bowls or custard cups. Top each serving with whipped cream.

  1. 1 Combine butter, sour cream, 5 tablespoons sugar, and egg yolks in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the dough blade; process until combined. Add flour and yeast; process until dough comes together. The dough should be moist and easy to work with. If dough feels too wet, add a little more flour; if it's too dry, add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time. Shape dough into a ball, cover with a damp towel, and set aside.
  2. 2 Heat 1 cup milk and 1 cup sugar in a saucepan until sugar dissolves and mixture has a syrupy consistency. Add chopped walnuts; stir to combine. Off heat; stir in raisins and lemon zest; cool filling.
  3. 3 Divide dough into 3 pieces. Roll out 1 dough piece on a lightly floured surface to form a long rectangle about ¼-inch thick; keep remaining dough covered. Spread ⅓ walnut filling on dough rectangle, leaving about 1 inch dough at edges. Roll up dough to form a log; press to seal. Place dough log, seam-side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Make bread dough: Combine warm water and yeast together in a large bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and forms a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Stir lukewarm milk, white sugar, shortening, egg, and salt into yeast mixture. Mix in flour until a soft, easy-to-handle dough forms.
  4. 4 Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and let stand for 10 minutes. Knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Form dough into a ball.
  5. 5 Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with a damp towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume or until a hole remains when dough is pressed, about 2 hours.
  6. 6 Punch down dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a ball and let dough rest for 15 minutes.
  7. 7 Make filling: Beat brown sugar, butter, and egg together in a bowl until creamy. Add milk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract; stir until smooth. Stir in walnuts until incorporated.
  8. 8 Roll dough on a large, floured cloth into a 20x30-inch rectangle. Spread walnut filling evenly over top of dough, spreading to the edges.
  9. 9 Roll up along the long edge like a jelly roll and pinch edges to seal. Coil roll into a snail shape.
  10. 10 Grease a 9x13x2-inch baking sheet. Place shaped dough on the prepared sheet and let rise until an impression remains when dough is gently pressed, about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  11. 11 Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
