- 1 c. Coarsely grnd walnuts
- 1 c. Coarsely grnd almonds
- 1/2 c. Caster sugar
- 1 tsp Grnd cinnamon

Directions
- Makes: 40 pcs
- Oven temperature: 180 C (350 F)
- Cooking Time: 50-55minutes
- Take an eighth of the pastry strands and spread out on a board to a 18 x 25 cm (7 x 10 inch) rectangle with strands running roughly lengthwise. Using a pastry brush, dab some butter over strands. Combine nut filling ingredients and spread about 2 Tbsp. of filling along one narrow edge. Roll up firmly into a neat roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Place rolls close together in a 20 x 30 cm (8 x 12 inch) slab cake pan or possibly baking dish.
- Brush top with remaining butter. Bake in a moderate oven, one shelf above centre, for 50-55 min till golden.
- Meanwhile, dissolve sugar in water over heat, add in lemon juice and rind, cloves and cinnamon. Bring to the boil and boil over medium heat for 10 min. Stir in honey, strain and cold. Pour cooled syrup over warm pastries and place a folded cloth on top. Leave till cold. Cut each roll into 5 pcs diagonally if preferred.
- ALTERNATIVE SHAPING: Take a small handful of pastry strands and spread out fairly compactly on board. Have strands running towards you as much as possible and dab with butter. Mould a Tbsp. of nut filling into a short sausage shape and place on one end. Roll up firmly into a neat roll and place in baking dish. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Makes about 30rolls each about 5 cm (2 inches) long. Bake as directed above, prepare syrup and finish as in previous recipe.
