Walnut Crescents Recipe #50963
These flaky little crescents were passed on to me from my grandmother.
Flour can vary add more or less depending on moisture in the air. Powdered Sugar is used for rolling. The amount can vary because you can roll as big (producing less in amount)or little (produced many little tasty treats)circles as you want.
