Ingredients
250g butter, softened
1/3 cup castor sugar
1 eggyolk
3 cups flour, sifted
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
Sifted icing sugar
Directions
Cream butter with castor sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk and beat well. Stir in flour alternately with nuts. Knead mixture lightly and form into a ball. Roll small pieces of dough into balls the size of large hazelnuts. Roll under the palm of the hand to form a small tube and then shape into crescents. Place on greased baking trays and bake in a preheated slow oven 150C (300F) for 12-15 minutes. While still warm, toss biscuits in icing sugar and place on wire racks to cool. Serve in tiny paper patty cases, if you wish. Makes 70.
