Holiday waffles with nuts and plum jam
Ingredients:

- 10.6 ounces of ground walnuts,
- 3/4 cup of sugar,
- 7.05 oz of butter,
- 8.8 oz plum jam,
- A package of mini ladyfingers,

- Cream the butter (it should be soft) and gradually mix it into the cooled nut mixture.
- Spread a layer of jam onto a waffle sheet, then top it with another waffle sheet. Apply half of the nut mixture onto this layer, then arrange the ladyfingers on top.
