- Prepare the Almond Filling: In a food processor, chop the almonds to a coarse consistency, then add in the cinnamon, sugar, orange blossom water (can be found in Middle Eastern stores), and melted butter and process to combine the filling.
- To Shape the Triangles: Take several fillo sheets and divide them in half lengthwise and crosswise so which you have sheets which are 6 inches wide by 8- 1/2 inches long. Fold them lengthwise so which you have fillo strips 3 inches wide. This is the size which will be filled and folded into triangles.
- Take 1 heaping tsp. of the filling and put it on the lower left hand side of the fillo. Fold it over to the right to make a triangle. Then fold it over to the left and to the right again till you have folded the entire sheet into a triangle. Seal the pkgs. with beaten egg or possibly a light mix of flour and water.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over moderate/low heat and brown the pastries for about 2 min.
- Plunge them into the honey and leave them for 10 min, turning them over once. Remove and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Set aside to cold and dry.
- Makes 20 triangles.
