How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Remove the shells or skins of the nuts, chop the nuts up finely and mix with the sugar.
|
2. Melt the butter but do not allow it to boil.
|
3. Sieve the flour on to a marble slab, pour the melted butter into the middle and work with the hands as for dough, then add the water and knead well until smooth and slightly moist-it must cling together well.
|
4. Roll out the pastry, cut it into large rounds and put 1 heaped teaspoon of the nut-and-sugar mixture into each; roll up into "sausages" about 3 inches long.
|
5. Lay those on well-greased baking sheets and cook in a hot oven (450°F) for about 10 minutes.
|
6. As soon as they come out of the oven dip them into icing sugar and leave to cool on a wire rack.
