2 c Flour
1 c Butter

1/2 c Poppy seeds
1 c Walnuts (chopped fine)

Sift the flour. Cream the butter and cream cheese
until well blended. Gradually add the flour, mixing
and make a ball of dough. Refrigerate overnight.

Combine the mohn filling ingredients. It may take a
little more, or a little less, than about 8 oz of
honey; use enough to hold the mixture together.

Roll out the dough (not too thin) and cut into 3-inch

fold the dough square over to make a triangle. Bake
on a greased pan at 350 degrees F. until golden brown,
about 20 minutes.
