List of Ingredients
1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
1/2 c Potato flour
1/4 ts Salt
2 tb Plus 2 teaspoons (1/3
Stick) butter or margarine,
Softened
1/2 c Finely chopped, toasted
Walnuts
1 c Ice water
Salt for the tops (opt.)
Preheat the oven to 350'F.
Mix the flours and salt together in a large bowl or in the food
processor. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse
meal.
Add the walnuts and stir until they are evenly distributed
throughout. Blend in enough of the water to form a dough that
will hold together in a cohesive ball. The dough will be somewhat
sticky.
Wrap the dough in wax paper or lightly buttered aluminum foil and
chill for at least 1/2 hour.
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured
surface or pastry cloth, roll out to 1/8 inch thick. If desired,
sprinkle the tops lightly with salt and roll over the dough with
your rolling pin. With a cookie cutter, glass, or juice can, cut
the dough into 2-inch rounds.
Place them on a lightly greased or parchemnt-lined baking sheet.
Prick each round in 2 or 3 places with the tines of a fork. Bake
for 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool on a rack.
Yield: 55-60.
