Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 350 g marzipan
• 50 g chopped almonds
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 4 tablespoons orange flower water
• 8 -10 phyllo pastry sheets (depending on size of sheets)
• 125 g melted butter
• 260 g honey

Recipe

• 1 in a bowl mix together the marzipan, chopped almonds, almond extract and 1 tablespoon of the flower water.
• 2 stack the phyllo sheets on a cutting board and cut into strips of about 11 cm/ 4 1/2 in wide and 30cm/ 12 in long. wrap the strips in a moistened kitchen towel and cover with cling wrap to keep from drying out.
• 3 place one strip of phyllo on your work surface and brush with melted butter. fold the strip in half lengthwise (making it about 5,5cm / 2 1/4 in wide) and brush with butter again.
• 4 place a tablespoon of the almond filling on one end of the strip and fold over making a triangle. continue folding the triangle enclosing your filling until you reach the end of the strip.
• 5 roll up all your strips this way and place on a wax paper lined baking sheet. brush the tops with melted butter.
• 6 preheat your oven to 180ºc / 350ºf. bake them on the middle shelf for 20-25 minutes until golden.
• 7 while the briouats are baking put the honey and the 3 remaining tablespoons of flower water in a sauce pan. bring to a boil right before the briouats come out of the oven. reduce the heat of the pan and plunge the briouats - 2 at a time - into the hot honey mixture. leave in for 10 seconds remove with slotted spoon onto wax paper.
• 8 leave to cool (this is the hardest part!) and eat the same day (this is the easiest part !).
