In a large heavy saucepan combine the granulated sugar, the ground walnuts, 1 cup of the milk, and the egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, constantly stirring with a wooden or plastic spoon, until the mixture thickens and comes away from the bottom and the sides of the saucepan.

Spoon the mixture onto a cookie sheet, and let cool. Once cooled, use your hands, to form the mixture into small 1" (2 cm.) oval rolls. Return the rolls to the cookie sheet.

In a double-boiler, combine the confectioner's sugar, the remaining 1/2 cup milk and the butter, and cook over medium heat until combined and smooth.

Dip each small oval into the confectioner's sugar mix, and place on wax paper to dry. Carefully place one walnut half on each oval. Allow the camafeus to dry thoroughly before removing from wax paper.
