* 4 yolks
* 1 egg white
* 5 oz / 150 g butter or lard
* ½ cup milk
* walnut-sized piece of yeast (cake)
* salt
* 2 – 3 tablespoons ground walnuts

* flour 
==Directions==
# Soak the yeast in milk, add yolks, butter, salt and then flour. 
# Knead into a stiffish dough. 
# Put the dough into a cloth or fabric sack, tie well but in such a way to leave room for the dough to rise. 
# Submerge the dough thus prepared into a large pot with cold water and leave for 4 – 5 hours. 
# The dough tied in the cloth will surface above the water. 
# Remove the dough and roll into a thin sheet. 
# Cut into 3 inches long and 1 inch wide strips. 
# Roll each strip in egg white and then in ground walnuts mixed with sugar and shape into a crescent dumpling like this: hold the strip by the ends with both hands. 
# Twist one end in one direction and the other end in the opposite direction and then bend to make a crescent. 
# Place onto the greased baking sheet. Bake at medium heat.
