Preheat oven to 200ºC. Mix nuts into bean paste. Roll pastry to 2mm thickness on a floured board. Cut into 6 – 7cm diameter rounds.
Put about 1 dessertspoon of red-bean paste mixture into the centre of half of the rounds. Wet your forefinger with cold water and run it around the mixture on the pastry to act as a ‘‘glue’’. Place the balance of the rounds on top of the filled ones and press around the edge firmly with the tines of a fork.
Place on a baking sheet sprayed with water and bake until golden brown. When cooled, gently break in half to make half moons. Serve piled up and dusted with icing sugar.
