Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

---------------------------DOUGH--------------------------------
2 1/4 c All-purpose flour
1/4 c Plus
3 tb Butter
Salt
1 Egg yolk

--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
4 oz Mozzarella
3 oz Cooked ham
2 Eggs
1/2 c Grated Parmesan cheese
Pinch of nutmeg
2 tb Chopped parsley
2 Eggs, beaten
Oil for frying

Sift the flour into a mound, make a well in the center and add the
butter, cut into pieces, a pinch of salt and an egg yolk. Mix
together, kneading and gradually adding sufficient water to obtain a
smooth elastic dough. Shape into a ball, cover and leave to stand in
a cool place for at least 1/2 hour. Roll out, folding the dough over
on to itself a few times, as if making flaky pastry, then roll out
into a thin sheet. Cut into circles about 3 inches in diameter.
Dice the Mozzarella, cut the ham into pieces and place in a bowl with
the 2 whole eggs, grated Parmesan, pinch of nutmeg and chopped
parsley. Mix well, then spoon a little into the center of each
circle. Brush the edges with beaten egg, fold over and press gently.
Heat plenty of oil in a skillet. When hot, dip the crescents in
beaten egg and then fry, a few at a time, until golden brown and
puffed up. Drain well on paper towles and serve piping hot.
