Recipe ingredients
- 1 pound filo dough, thawed
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- Nut filling
- Syrup
Recipe method
- Spread out 1 sheet of filo dough. Dab or lightly brush with oil. Over this, evenly place a second sheet of filo. Brush sheet with oil and lightly sprinkle with nut filling. Place a third sheet of filo over this, brush with oil and sprinkle with more nut filling. Roll up tightly (the 3 sheets together) jelly-roll fashion.
- Slice diagonally into 1-inch pieces. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Repeat until all filo dough and filling are used. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven 20 minutes or until light golden. Cool.
- Freeze at this point, if desired. When ready to serve, prepare syrup, cool and pour over individual pieces. Serve in paper candy cups.
- Nut filling: In a medium bowl, combine 5 cups almonds OR pecans, chopped fine in food processor, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves (optional) and 1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds (optional). Mix well.
- Syrup: In a saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 1/2 cups honey and 1 cup water. Heat to boiling and cook until sticky, about 5 to 8 minutes, until syrup coats the back of a spoon. Do not overcook.
