  • 3Place the pastry flat on the countertop and cover with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out. Make sure to squeeze out as much water as possible from the towel.
  • 4Working with one sheet at a time, arrange the pastry vertically on the countertop, with the short side facing you. Brush with some of the melted butter and sprinkle over 3 heaped tablespoons of the walnut mixture.
  • 5Place 2 skewers, end to end, horizontally halfway on the pastry, with the ends sticking out. Fold the pastry in half over the skewers. Roll up the pastry from the fold, using the skewers as a guide. Remove the skewers. Repeat with the remaining pastry and filling.
