SO, to make about 120 you’ll need: 6 cups sifted flour, 1/2 pound lard, 1/2 pound butter, 2 egg yolks, 1 whole egg, 1/2 can (large) evaporated milk and 1 cake yeast.

Crumble yeast fine into flour, work in shortening like pie dough. Add egg yolks, whole egg and milk, work with hands until dough pulls from side of board.

For the Nut Filling: Cook 1 pound ground walnuts, 1/2 pound box graham crackers (ground with walnuts) 1 cup sugar, 2 egg yolks and 1/2 to 1 cup milk, until thickened. Cool filling before putting on dough.
