Moroccan Almond Pastries
Source of Recipe
Traditional Moroccan Cooking
List of Ingredients
2 cups almonds
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon orange flower water
cinnamon
8 sheets phyllo doughRecipe
Pound the almonds in a mortar with the sugar. Add the butter, flower water, and cinnamon. Pounding the almonds makes a smoother paste than simply grinding them. Lay out a sheet of filo pastry. Using 1/4 cup of the almond paste, place about an inch thick sausage down the centre, roll the sheet around the stuffing and then then coil the sausage to form a snail's shell. Fry in butter until browned, then sprinkle with cinnamon and icing sugar before serving. Makes 6.
