                         -----PASTRY-----
    2       c            Flour
    1       c            Butter
      1/2   lb           Cream cheese
                         -----MOHN FILLING-----
      1/2   c            Poppy seeds
    1       c            Walnuts (chopped fine)
    1       c            Raisins (chopped fine)
    8       oz           Honey
 
   Sift the flour.  Cream the butter and cream cheese
   until well blended. Gradually add the flour, mixing
   and make a ball of dough.  Refrigerate overnight.
   
   Combine the mohn filling ingredients.  It may take a
   little more, or a little less, than about 8 oz of
   honey; use enough to hold the mixture together.
   
   Roll out the dough (not too thin) and cut into 3-inch
   squares.  Fill each square with about 1 T of mohn and
   fold the dough square over to make a triangle.  Bake
   on a greased pan at 350 degrees F. until golden brown,
   about 20 minutes.
