Place unrolled dough on lightly floured board. Fold one rectangle of dough over the other, so that the preforations are in opposite directions. Roll dough to a very thin rectangle, 7x14 inches. Cut in half, then cut each half into four 3 1/2 inch squares. Place a rounded teaspoonful of filling on each and shape into crescent. Repeat with second half of package. Beat egg yolk lightly with water. Brush over pastries; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Heat fat to 360. Fry pastries, a few at a time, about 4 minutes, turning frequently. Drain on paper towel. Serve warm.
