Mix jam with crushed walnuts in a bowl.

Add 30 tablespoons of plain flour and half a tablespoon of baking powder to the bowl and mix together.

Add 250 grams of butter to the mixture and mix well.

Add 1 egg and mix until a dough forms, it may be crumbly.

Add half a cup of cream and mix together, adjusting with more flour if too wet.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth.

Let the dough rest for half an hour, then knead again.

Divide the dough into four pieces and shape into small circles, flattening them with your hand.

Cut each circle into 8 pieces like a pizza.

Add 1 teaspoon of plum jam to each triangle.

Fold the edges in and roll the triangles to form kifle.

Place the kifle on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.

Repeat until all dough is used up.

Bake in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes.

Sprinkle with icing sugar before serving.
