Warbat

Ingredients

  • 16 sheets phyllo pastry
  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • thick cream
  • powdered pistachios

Sugar Syrup

  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 tsp rose water/orange blossom water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180℃
  • Take out the phyllo pastry and keep it stacked. Cover with damp paper towel so that they don’t dry out.
  • Take out 8 sheets of pastry and stack them together.
  • Cut the stack into long strips of about 2-2.5 inches wide.
  • Fold the strips as shown in video to make a folded triangle shape. Cut it.
  • Repeat with remaining pastry.
  • Assemble in a tray. With 8 sheets you’ll get approximately 12 warbats, so you’ll get 24 of them with 16 sheets.
  • After assembling in tray pour melted butter all over. (½ cup butter for 12 warbat)
  • Make sure that the warbat is soaked in butter, otherwise it wont crisp up.
  • Pop into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until golden.
  • Immediately after warbat comes out of oven, cover it with sugar syrup. It will soak up the syrup.
  • Once it cools, fill with cream. Sprinkle pistachios and serve.

To make sugar syrup:

  • Add all ingredients into a bowl and over medium heat let it come to a boil. Let sugar gets dissolved.
  • Simmer for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool down
