1/2 recipe Danish Pastry Dough

2 tablespoons chopped walnuts

2 tablespoons sugar

Mix walnuts and sugar. Set asise.

Roll pastry on floured surface to 2 20" x 15" rectangles. Trim edges evenly. With a sharp knife cut into 12 5" squares. Place 1 teaspoon of apricot preserves along one of the edges of the pastry 1/2 inch in from the edge. Fold over opposite edge; press edges together to seal. With a sharp knife, make a lengthwise slit in folded pastry to within 1 inch of each end. Slip one end under and pull it through the slit. (Looks very strange!)
