PASTRY:

4 c. flour (approximately)
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
2 c. butter (parve)
1 c. orange juice

Sift flour, baking powder and sugar together into a mixing bowl. Add parve butter and using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the butter until it becomes a batch of pea-size morsels.

Work the dough ever so lightly. If it is too sticky, knead it on a lightly floured board, adding more flour as necessary. Divide the dough into 8 balls and wrap in waxed paper. Refrigerate overnight.

FILLING:

2/3 c. sugar
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 c. chopped nuts (walnuts)
1 c. raisins

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll out one ball of dough at a time on a lightly floured surface. Roll each one into a circle 1/4 inch thick. Combine the filling ingredients and blend well.

Sprinkle 1/4 of the filling on each round of dough as it is rolled out. Cut each round into 12-16 wedges. Roll each wedge into a crescent. Put on cookie sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Makes about 8 dozen.
