--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        -----PASTRY-----
   2       c            Flour
   1       c            Butter
     1/2   lb           Cream cheese
                        -----MOHN FILLING-----
     1/2   c            Poppy seeds
   1       c            Walnuts (chopped fine)
   1       c            Raisins (chopped fine)
   8       oz           Honey

  Sift the flour.  Cream the butter and cream cheese
  until well blended. Gradually add the flour, mixing
  and make a ball of dough.  Refrigerate overnight.
  
  Combine the mohn filling ingredients.  It may take a
  little more, or a little less, than about 8 oz of
  honey; use enough to hold the mixture together.
  
  Roll out the dough (not too thin) and cut into 3-inch
  squares.  Fill each square with about 1 T of mohn and
  fold the dough square over to make a triangle.  Bake
  on a greased pan at 350 degrees F. until golden brown,
  about 20 minutes.
