Ingredients

1 pounds Blanched almonds

1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

1cup Sugar

2 tablespoon Orange blossom water*

2 tablespoon Melted butter

1 pounds Fillo sheets; each 12x17 inches

1 cup Vegetable oil

1 cup Honey; warmed

2 tablespoon

Sesame seeds; toasted

Directions

Prepare the Almond Filling: In a food processor, chop the almonds to a coarse consistency, then add the cinnamon, sugar, orange blossom water (can be found in Middle Eastern stores), and melted butter and process to combine the filling.

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.

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.

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over moderate/low heat and brown the pastries for about 2 minutes.

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.

I just wish I had some of these now! I love working with phyllo dough and will have to make this recipe soon. Great recipe and thank you for posting it here.

Mmmmmm, must be fantastic. I love anything made from phyllo and I made a group for it. Shall try it as soon as possible. The only query I have is about the orange blossom water. Usually the blossom water we have is made from blossoms of citrus trees. Would that be okay, if I use that blossom water?

Hi Ivi and thanks for your comment on "Briouats" recipe. The Orange Blossom water that I use for this recipe comes from Lebanon, is the same that you use for "Baklava recipe" so, I think is the same Orange Blossom water that you describe, becouse is not own from here! :-)
