Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 C Water -- Cold
3 Egg Yolks
1 Tbsp Sugar
1/4 Tsp Salt
1 Pkg Dry Yeast
1 Tsp Lemon Juice
4 C Flour -- Sifted
1/2 Lb Butter
3 Egg Whites
3/4 C Jam -- Your favorite
1/2 C Nuts -- Chopped
2 Tbsp Bread Crumbs

Mix together first 6 ingredients. In another bowl, work together 4 cups of
flour and 1/2 pound butter until crumbly. Add above mixture and mix until
the consistancy of pie crust. (If too thin, add flour. if too thick, add a
little water.) Put in refrigerator while mixing filling.

Beat 3 egg whites until stiff. Beat 1/2 to 3/4 cups of your favorite jelly
or jam. (Knowing my grandmother, this was rad raspberry jam!) Gently fold
in 1/2 cup chopped nuts and 2 tblsp bread crumbs

Roll out the dough (1/3 at a time) on a sugared board until about 1/8" to
1/4" thick. Cut into 2" to 3" squares. Put a little filling at one end,
roll up and put on ungreased pan, cut side down. Bake at 350° until golden
brown (about 20 minutes). Cool before removing. When cool, decorate with 2
green leaves and a red rosette on top centered along the length.

Theese are nothing short of amazing!
