Ingredients
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
- 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.
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 356°F.
- Add walnuts, almonds, ground cinnamon, ground cloves and breadcrumbs in a blender. Blend until nuts look coarsely chopped.
- 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.
- 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.
- Grease the bottom of a pan with butter and place the rolls.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until they get a golden color.
For The Syrup:
- While the pastries are in the oven start making the syrup.
- In a small saucepan add sugar and water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes without stiring.
- Pour the hot syrup on the pastries right as they come out of the oven.
- Let them rest at room temperature for about 1 hour before serving.
