Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the flour and icing sugar, then work in the softened butter by rubbing it between your fingers.
- Add the egg and water, then knead quickly until you have a smooth dough. Cover and rest for 20 minutes in the fridge.
- Meanwhile, warm the honey in a small saucepan over low heat for 3 minutes, then stir in the chopped walnuts and cinnamon.
- Shape small balls of dough about 3 cm across and flatten them slightly in your palm to form little cups.
- Place a spoonful of the honey and walnut filling in the centre of each cup, then close the dough around it to enclose the filling.
- Arrange the bites on a tray and bake at 170 °C for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden. Let cool slightly before serving.
