3. 3

   Add crushed walnuts, baking powder, and flour gradually to knead a soft dough.

4. 4

   Press the prepared dough evenly into a greased baking dish or tray.

5. 5

   Score the dough into diamond shapes with a knife or fork before baking.

6. 6

   Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 35 minutes until golden brown.
