4. Mix the sugar, walnuts and cinnamon together for the filling.
5. Preheat the oven to 175 °. Line baking trays with parchment paper.

Use a sharp knife or a pastry cutter to cut the circle into 16 pieces. Roll it up from the broad end and bend it into a crescent shape. Place with the point downwards with a little space on the prepared baking sheets.
