Combine flour and salt; cut in butter until coarse mixture forms. Stir in egg yolk, sour cream and vanilla; knead. If dough seems too dry, sprinkle with water and knead. Shape into ball; cover and chill overnight. Divide dough into three parts; roll each into 12-inch circles. Spread with butter. Combine honey and maple flavoring; spread over circles. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nuts and cut into 12 pie-shaped wedges. Starting at wide edge, roll up. Tuck point underneath and bake on greased baking sheet at 375 degrees for 20–30 minutes.
