- 100 g brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- Filling
- 60 ml maple syrup
- 40 g finely-chopped walnuts (toasted)

- Crumb together flour, butter and sugar with fingertips until combined. Add egg yolk and maple syrup, knead until mixture forms a ball.
- Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth; cover; refrigerate for one hour or freeze for 20 minutes.
- Roll dough between the sheets of baking paper to 28cmx48cm rectangle; spread filling evenly over dough, leaving 1 cm border.
- Using paper as a guide, roll the dough tightly from long side to enclose the filling, wrap roll in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a further 30 minutes/freeze for 20 minutes.
- Remove plastic from roll, cut roll into 1cm wide slices. Place slices about 2cm apart on oven tray covered with baking paper. Bake in a moderate oven (180 degrees fan forced) for about 15 minutes or until browned. Stand for 5 minutes before lifting onto wire racks to cool.
