Ingredients Needed:
- 1 roll of puff pastry or filo dough
For the Filling:
- 3.5 oz of finely ground walnuts
- About 3 tablespoons of milk
- Roughly 2 tablespoons of sugar
For Glazing:
- A mix of egg and milk for brushing
Instructions:
- Unroll the pastry dough and cut it into four equal parts.
- Spread the walnut mixture evenly over each piece, then carefully roll them up. Seal the edges with a fork to ensure they stay closed.
- Cut into triangle shapes as demonstrated in the instructional video, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Tip: Dust your knife with flour to prevent sticking.
- Brush each triangle with the egg-milk mixture for a golden finish.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 392°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes. If they start to darken too much around the 8-minute mark, reduce the temperature to 356°F (180°C).
Enjoy these warm, nutty, and utterly delightful Walnut Triangles as a testament to your baking prowess and the joy of simple, yet delicious, treats.
