Egyptian Phyllo- Pastry Fingers- Asabi Gullash

Features:
    Cuisine:

    DH said these are good and they were all eaten up by my FIL's dewaniya (male gathering). I felt the recipe was not complete for example it didn't say how to make the syrup but I knew how from experience. used a mix of blanched almonds & pistachios which I crushed in my spice mill/coffee grinder. Also I think 1 lb phyllo pastry sheets needs about double the amount of nuts and used two gullash squares for each pastry finger and lots of butter on top before baking. I chose freshly ground cardamom to add to the nuts, freshly squeezed lemon juice in the syrup and added some Lebanese rose water after taking it off the heat. I baked ours at 325F but maybe my oven runs high. I may make these again switching out the cinnimon for less cardamom I think but I guess that way would not be Egyptian style. Made for WELCOME TO EGYPT!

    Egyptian Phyllo-Pastry Fingers- Asabi Gullash, I love arabic and greek phyllo pastries with the nuts and the spices and the syrup yum This recipe makes delicious little finger-food pastries One important thing you have to remember in making these types of pastries, from baklava on down, is that hot syrup for cold desserts and cold syrup for hot desserts In this recipe you can dip the pastries right out of the oven into cold syrup, or let them cool and dip them in hot syrup This recipe makes alot of thin little pastry fingers Feel free to halve the recipe, or even double layer if you enjoy the crunch of phyllo- just remember to butter in between layers Note: Preparation time really depends on how fast you are in rolling these little guys up People who have never handled phyllo before or are unused to making dumplings will probably take longer unless you’re gifted :), DH said these are good and they were all eaten up by my FIL’s dewaniya (male gathering) I felt the recipe was not complete for example it didn’t say how to make the syrup but I knew how from experience used a mix of blanched almonds & pistachios which I crushed in my spice mill/coffee grinder Also I think 1 lb phyllo pastry sheets needs about double the amount of nuts and used two gullash squares for each pastry finger and lots of butter on top before baking I chose freshly ground cardamom to add to the nuts, freshly squeezed lemon juice in the syrup and added some Lebanese rose water after taking it off the heat I baked ours at 325F but maybe my oven runs high I may make these again switching out the cinnimon for less cardamom I think but I guess that way would not be Egyptian style Made for WELCOME TO EGYPT!, I love arabic and greek phyllo pastries with the nuts and the spices and the syrup yum This recipe makes delicious little finger-food pastries One important thing you have to remember in making these types of pastries, from baklava on down, is that hot syrup for cold desserts and cold syrup for hot desserts In this recipe you can dip the pastries right out of the oven into cold syrup, or let them cool and dip them in hot syrup This recipe makes alot of thin little pastry fingers Feel free to halve the recipe, or even double layer if you enjoy the crunch of phyllo- just remember to butter in between layers Note: Preparation time really depends on how fast you are in rolling these little guys up People who have never handled phyllo before or are unused to making dumplings will probably take longer unless you’re gifted 🙂
