Directions:
Combine dates, water, sugar and salt; simmer until thick, stirring frequently. Cool; stir in almonds. Open package of rolls and unroll half carefully, without seperating at perforations. 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.
