How To Make nuts, raisins and shredded coconut pastry
-
Step 1Place the sugar, water and lemon in a saucepan and simmer for about 20 minutes. Add the rose or orange blossom water at the end.
-
Step 2Set aside. Mix the ingredients of the filling - you can add more cinnamon, raisin, coconut or add other nuts, according to taste.
-
Step 3Cut the phyllo pastry into three finger wide strips. Keep them covered with a towel so they don't dry out. Brush with the oil and butter mixture onto each strip before you add the filling.
-
Step 4Put a spoonful of filling in one of the strips. Fold the strip over the filling, folding towards the opposite corner as you go.
-
Step 5Continue folding until the end of the strip, cut away any excess. Place the triangles on a greased baking tray or baking sheet.
-
Step 6Put in the oven at 250 C until crisp and golden brown. Allow to cool before dipping in the warm syrup. They should be dipped in syrup just before eating.Place in cupcake liners.
-
Step 7Serve with coffee and other Ramadan sweets, such as Qatayef, Fritters or, as here, Knafa fingers.
