List of Ingredients




1 1/2 cup ground or finely chopped nuts*
1 1/2 cup ground or finely chopped almonds
2 tsp. sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
20 sheets frozen phyllo dough(18 x 14-inch rectangles), thawed
1 cup butter or margarine,melted
1 recipe syrup

Syrup:
1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. water
2 Tbsp. honey
1/2 tsp. lemon juice

Recipe



*It takes about 6 ounces of nuts to make 1 1/2 cups ground.

Combine the nuts, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside. Brush 1/2 of 1 sheet of phyllo dough with a little of the melted butter or margarine. Fold sheet in half crosswise. (You will have a double piece of phyllo, 14 x 9-inches.)

Brush lightly with butter. (Keep the remaining dough covered while working.) Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons nut mixture over folded phyllo. Beginning at short end, roll up jelly roll style.

Cut in half crosswise making 2 rolls about 4 1/2-inches long. Place the nut rolls, seam down, in two 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pans. Repeat with remaining dough to make 40 rolls total. Brush rolls with remaining melted butter. Bake in a 350 degrees oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden.

Meanwhile, prepare syrup. Spoon about 3/4 teaspoon of the syrup over each hot roll while still in pan. Let cool in pan. Makes 40 nut rolls; 20 servings.

Syrup:
In a small saucepan, stir together sugar, water, honey and lemon juice. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture just starts to boil. Remove from heat.
