--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        -----DOUGH-----
   2 1/4   c            All-purpose flour
     1/4   c            Plus
   3       tb           Butter
                        Salt
   1                    Egg yolk
                        -----FILLING-----
   4       oz           Mozzarella
   3       oz           Cooked ham
   2                    Eggs
     1/2   c            Grated Parmesan cheese
                        Pinch of nutmeg
   2       tb           Chopped parsley
   2                    Eggs, beaten
                        Oil for frying

  Sift the flour into a mound, make a well in the center and add the butter,
  cut into pieces, a pinch of salt and an egg yolk. Mix together, kneading
  and gradually adding sufficient water to obtain a smooth elastic dough.
  Shape into a ball, cover and leave to stand in a cool place for at least
  1/2 hour. Roll out, folding the dough over on to itself a few times, as if
  making flaky pastry, then roll out into a thin sheet. Cut into circles
  about 3 inches in diameter. Dice the Mozzarella, cut the ham into pieces
  and place in a bowl with the 2 whole eggs, grated Parmesan, pinch of nutmeg
  and chopped parsley. Mix well, then spoon a little into the center of each
  circle. Brush the edges with beaten egg, fold over and press gently. Heat
  plenty of oil in a skillet.  When hot, dip the crescents in beaten egg and
  then fry, a few at a time, until golden brown and puffed up. Drain well on
  paper towles and serve piping hot.
