Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic.
Halve and roll about 1/8-inch thick.
Cover completely with melted butter and cover butter with jam of your choice.
I use Damson plum jam most frequently.
Cover with finely chopped nuts and roll up.
Place on greased cookie sheet in horseshoe shape.
Press ends into one another.
With scissors, snip out side edge about 1-inch toward center at 1 1/2-inch intervals.
