Phyllo pastries are easy to make and very delicious. They make a beautiful addition to any afternoon tea or dessert table. Make these dainty rolls with any nuts you have available – pecans, pistachios, hazelnuts, or a combination. For spices, experiment with other flavours like cardamom or ginger. These rolls can be made a day ahead or assembled and frozen raw, then baked from frozen (adding a few minutes to the total baking time).

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 13 x 18” baking sheet with melted butter.
  2. For the honey syrup: Combine sugar, water, Farm Boy™ Pure Ontario Honey, and Farm Boy™ Cinnamon Sticks in small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves completely, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it boils, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for about 5 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and add lemon juice and Farm Boy™ Orange Blossom Water. Cool completely.
  4. For the phyllo rolls: Bring Farm Boy™ Phyllo Pastry to room temperature in its box.
  5. While syrup is cooking, in medium bowl, combine walnuts, sugar, Farm Boy™ Organic Ground Cinnamon, and Farm Boy™ Ground Cloves. Set aside.
  6. Remove Farm Boy™ Phyllo Pastry from package. Cover with a damp kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out.
  7. To assemble the rolls, take one sheet of phyllo and place it on counter with the long edge facing you. Brush with melted butter and top with a second sheet of phyllo and brush with butter. Sprinkle with 3-4 Tbsp nut mixture, then cut the pastry into 4 even pieces along the long side.
  8. Start rolling up from the edges closest to you, make sure you roll up as tightly as possible. Place rolls side by side, seam-side down, on prepared baking sheet. It’s OK if they touch.
  9. Once all pastry is used up, brush rolls in pan with remaining melted butter. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  10. As soon as rolls come out of the oven, pour syrup over rolls. Sprinkle with toasted chopped walnuts or pistachios. Let cool completely and enjoy. Store at room temperature.
