Name: Beggar's Purses
Ingredients: See instructions

From my childhood up, my mind had been full of objections against the doctrine of God's sovereignty in choosing whom He would to eternal life, and rejecting him whom He pleased; leaving them eternally to perish, and be everlastingly tormented in Hell. It used to appear like a horrible doctrine to me. But I have often, since that first conviction, had quite another kind of sense of God's sovereignty than I had then. I have often since had not only a conviction, but a delightful conviction. The doctrine has very often appeared exceeding pleasant, bright, and sweet. Absolute sovereignty is what I love to ascribe to God. But my first conviction was not so.

_Martha Stewart's Menus for Entertaining_ has a recipe for Duck-Filled
Beggar's Purses.  Don't see why you couldn't substitute your filling of
choice.  I'm not sure what to substitute for the chive tie, I'm sure
someone would have a good suggestion. Here are the assembly instructions,
excluding the duck filling. I don't know how big the ones in the movie
were, but she mentions these being bite sized. Hope it works for you!
"To assemble, spread 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface keeping the
rest of the dough covered with a damp dish towel.  Brush the entire surface
with butter, then top with another sheet of phyllo.  Repeat twice for a
total of 4 sheeps of phylo dough one on top of another brushing butter
between each layer. Using a sharp knife cut the layered dough into 6
squares.  Place a heaping tablespoon of filling in the center of each
phyllo square.  Pull the corners up to the center and gather the dough
pinching it closed over the filling. Tie each bundle securely with a single
chive.  Using sharp scissors, snip the dough off one inch above the chive
ribbon so that the tops are even. The purses can be frozed on
parchment-lined sheets, well wrapped, at this point. To serve, preheat the
oven to 350 F.  Place the purses on baking sheeps and bake for 10-15
minutes until golden brown."
