Directions:
Directions:
Pastry: Sift flour onto pastry board, make a well in the center, add the wine and oil slowly. Work flour from sides into the center to prevent liquids from spilling out. Mix well to form a firm dough, similar to pasta dough. It should not be sticky. Knead until smooth; cover and set aside while preparing filling.
Filling: Place walnuts in a large bowl. Grind all other ingredients separately and add to the bowl with walnuts. Blend thoroughly to incorporate nuts into the filling.
Roll the pastry into a thin sheet, lay over a ravioli maker, add a small amount of the filling into the each ravioli, sealing the edges with egg wash. Roll out a second piece of dough and cover the top of the first sheet. Using a rolling pin, roll over the ravioli maker to form small filled cookies. Remove from the ravioli maker and press edges with a fork to seal if necessary. Heat a deep fryer, melt Crisco until hot. Place 3 or 4 of the cookies in the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Store in an airtight container and in a cool place. Dust with powder sugar when serving.
Makes about 36 cookies.
NOTE: Filling can be made ahead of time and stored in refrigerator.©
