Time 1h40m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups finely chopped walnuts
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1 package phyllo
Butter, melted
Syrup, recipe follows
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey
1 cinnamon stick
2 slices lemon
2 slices orange
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts or pistachios, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a bowl combine the walnuts, sugar and cardamom. Butter a 9 by 9 by 1 3/4-inch baking dish. Cover phyllo with a very lightly dampened towel and keep covered at all times when it is not being used. Cut phyllo into 8 by 11-inch sheets. Place 1 sheet at a time on a work surface and lightly brush with butter. Place 2 tablespoons of the spiced sugar-nut mixture lengthwise down the center of each leaf of phyllo. Fold each sheet over several times lengthwise to form a 1-inch wide strip, enclosing the filling. Roll up each strip to make a coil and place flat (coil side up) in the prepared dish against the side to prevent it from uncoiling. Repeat the whole procedure with the rest of the phyllo sheets. Brush with butter and bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 40 minutes.
  • Combine all of the ingredients, except nuts, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 30 minutes, cool for 10 minutes, then strain. Pour over pastries once they have come out of the oven and let soak for 1 hour. Sprinkle with walnuts or pistachios.

I had some trouble getting the pastries to puff up properly. I think I might have over-mixed the dough.

These pastries are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still very good.

These pastries are the perfect combination of sweet and savory. I love the contrast between the crispy pastry and the creamy filling.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pastries didn't turn out as flaky as I would have liked.
