Ingredients:
Sweet Syrup
1/2 package (16 oz.) frozen filo dough, completely
defrosted
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
1/2 cup almonds or pistachios, pulverized in food
processor with
1/3 cup sugar
Glaze:
1 egg, beaten
sugar
Direction:
Prepare the syrup in advance and chill in the
refrigerator. Combine the filling ingredients. Preheat
the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease 1 or 2 baking sheets.
Cut the filo in half crosswise and again in half,
stacking the covering with a slightly dampened towel to
prevent drying. Lay 2 rectangles on your work surface
with the shorter sides facing you, and brush lightly
with melted butter.
Place a rounded tablespoon of the filling in a line
across the shorter side of filo that faces you. Fold the
longer edges of the pastry inward, sealing in the sides
of the filling, and roll the pastry up from the short
side, forming a fat cigar shape. Place on the baking
sheet with the cut edge down. Repeat with remaining
dough. Brush the tops of the pastries lightly with a bit
of beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 15 to 20
minutes, until golden brown. Dip the warm fingers into
cool Sweet Syrup and arrange on a serving tray. Serve at
room temperature.
