Ingredients:
- 350 grams finely ground nuts (peanuts, walnuts, almonds, or pistachios – unroasted)
- 1/2 cup honey
- Phyllo dough (approximately 26 sheets, as 1 package usually contains 13 sheets)
- Olive oil or canola oil for brushing
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Procedure:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) with convection if available.
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix the ground nuts with honey until all are well-coated. This takes about a minute. Form the mixture into 20 small balls and set aside.
- Prepare the phyllo: Take one sheet of phyllo and brush it lightly with oil. Fold the sheet in half and brush again with a little oil. Fold once more.
- Assemble: Place a nut-honey ball at the bottom edge of the folded phyllo strip. Flatten the ball slightly. Begin folding into a triangle, following the method shown in a tutorial video.
- Bake: Arrange the triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Finish: Remove from the oven and immediately dust with powdered sugar.
