Ingredients

Servings

For The Pastries:

  • 200 grams kataifi pastry
  • 30 grams almonds
  • 20 grams walnuts
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon breadcrumbs
  • 150 grams butter melted

For The Syrup:

  • 250 grams water
  • 350 grams sugar

Instructions

  1. NOTE: Unfreeze the Kataifi pastry in the fridge overnight. Once removed from package use immediately. Do not let the pastry sit uncovered because it air-dries easily.
  2. Preheat oven to 180°C / 356°F.
  3. Add walnuts, almonds, ground cinnamon, ground cloves and breadcrumbs in a blender. Blend until nuts look coarsely chopped.
  4. Remove kataifi pastry from package and place on a working surface. Work the kataifi with your hands by gently tearing apart the shreds in order to get fluffy.
  5. Take a few shreds of the pastry together and create a long strip. Place it on your working surface. Sprinkle the dough with some butter. Take a teaspoon of the filling and add right at the end. Roll the pastry tightly together until you reach the other end of the strip.
  6. Grease the bottom of a pan with butter and place the rolls.
  7. Bake for about 15 minutes or until they get a golden color.

For The Syrup:

  1. While the pastries are in the oven start making the syrup.
  2. In a small saucepan add sugar and water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes without stiring.
  4. Pour the hot syrup on the pastries right as they come out of the oven.
  5. Let them rest at room temperature for about 1 hour before serving.
