"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Honey Nut Rolls ( Bourekakia)

 

Ingredients


FILLING

2 cup chopped nuts (or more) *
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 orange (grated rind only)
1/2 lb commercial filo sheets
1/2 lb sweet butter, melted

SYRUP

2 cup honey
1 cup water
2 cup sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice



 

Preparation

*Note: Nuts may be walnuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios or any
combination. Defrost filo to room temperature at least 2 hours before
using. Mix filling in a bowl and set aside. Melt butter in a small
pan, and return to heat when it cools and doesn't flow easily while
you are working with filo. Smooth 3 sheets of filo flat on a cutting
board. With a pastry brush, dribble warm butter between sheets.
Sprinkle 2/3 cup of nut filling over top, spreading to corners. Lay
another 3 sheets of filo over filling, buttering between them. Fold
edges over on each side to keep nuts from rolling out. Starting with
the end nearest to you, roll away from you as tightly as you can. Cut
into 1" slices. Place each roll in oiled pan, next to each other,
snugly, nuts facing upwards. Continue using all the filo and filling.
When all the slices are in the pan, dribble a teaspoon of warm butter
on top of each slice. It will disappear into the layers of nutmeats.
Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes. Begin making syrup 20 minutes before
the pastry is ready to be taken out of the oven. Pour hot syrup over
rolls immediately upon removal from oven. Use a spoon to ladle it
over each one. Set aside to absorb syrup for 4 hours. Do not
refrigerate.
