desserts, pastry, tnt
1 1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely ground
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 sheet phyllo dough
1 melted butter
1/2 cup honey
Combine: 1 1/2 cups walnuts, coarsely ground 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp cinnamon
In a well buttered shallow baking dish approximately 12 x 8 inches, place: 1 sheet phyllo dough Brush well with: melted butter. Repeat with 2 more sheets, folding in any overlapping edges. Sprinkle with 1/3 of walnut mixture; alternate layers of 3 sheets of buttered phyllo and walnut mixture; end with 3 phyllo sheets. Cut into squares or triangles and bake in a 375 degree oven 45 minutes or until golden.
(Blanche's note: better you should take this out of the oven when it's a shade lighter than you think it needs. This scorches pretty easily.)
Pour evenly over assembled layers while still hot: 1/2 cup honey
Let cool before removing from dish. Serve at room temperature or reheat briefly in a 350 degree oven. Serves 8 - 10. (Not in MY house!)
