Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water, chilled
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (120 g) walnuts or almonds, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (75 g) powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add butter; blend until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add chilled water, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
  2. In a bowl, mix chopped nuts, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. Stir in honey until the mixture is sticky.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a thin rectangle. Cut into 3-inch squares.
  4. Place a spoonful of the nut filling in the center of each square. Fold the corners over the filling and seal tightly. Brush each pastry with melted butter.
  5. Arrange pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
