edit Ingredients
1 |
pound blanched almonds |
1 |
teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 |
cup sugar |
2 |
tablespoons orange blossom water |
2 |
tablespoons melted butter |
1 |
pound fillo sheets, each 12x17 inches |
1 |
cup vegetable oil |
1 |
cup honey, warmed |
2 |
tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted |
edit Preparation
Step 1 |
Prepare the Almond Filling: In a food processor, chop the almonds to a coarse consistency, then add the cinnamon, sugar, orange blossom water, and melted butter and process to combine the filling. |
Step 2 |
To Shape the Triangles: Take several fillo sheets and divide them in half lengthwise and crosswise so that you have sheets that are 6 inches wide by 8- 1/2 inches long. Fold them lengthwise so that you have fillo strips 3 inches wide. This is the size that will be filled and folded into triangles. |
Step 3 |
Take 1 heaping teaspoon of the filling and put it on the lower left hand side of the fillo. Fold it over to the right to make a triangle. Then fold it over to the left and to the right again until you have folded the entire sheet into a triangle. Seal the packages with beaten egg or a light mixture of flour and water. |
Step 4 |
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over moderate/low heat and brown the pastries for about 2 minutes. |
Step 5 |
Plunge them into the honey and leave them for 10 minutes, turning them over once. Remove and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Set aside to cool and dry. |
