Kiflie is a popular pastry in Hungary and other Eastern European countries, often enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea. The pastry is made with a flaky puff pastry crust and filled with a sweet mixture of grated walnuts, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and heavy cream. The walnut filling gives the pastry a satisfying crunch and nutty flavor. Kiflie is perfect for a mid-morning or afternoon snack, or as a sweet addition to any breakfast spread.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.	In a mixing bowl, combine the walnuts, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and heavy cream. Mix until well combined.
3.	Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into triangles.
4.	Place a spoonful of the walnut mixture onto each triangle. Fold in the sides and roll up to form a crescent shape.
5.	Brush with a beaten egg and place on the baking sheet.
6.	Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
