Direcciones

  1. lay out each sheet of unrolled fillo vertically.
  2. place dowel at bottom end and sprinkle sugar and walnut mixture just above the dowel rod and roll upwards. (loosley) some might puncture through but it will be ok.
  3. once rolled all the way up take both ends pinch and push towards the center until creating a crinkle/wormy effect.(make sure to cover unused sheets they need to stay soft,...if dry dough will crack try to work quickly!)
  4. place in baking pan; fitting tightly againt eachother.
  5. repeat until finished.
  6. boil butter and remove all the "foaminess" this is extra water and will cause it to burn.
  7. pour evenly throughout.

  9. carefull they go from golden to burnt very quickly!
