Ingredients

Dough

Walnut Filling

  • 1 cup walnuts, checked

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tablespoon orange blossom water

  • 2 teaspoons oil

Date Filling

  • 1 cup dates, checked

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • a few drops of water, if needed

To Finish

Directions

Prepare the Dough

1.

Beat eggs, sugar, orange blossom water, and oil. Lastly, add the flours. If it’s too dry, add one more egg yolk.

2.

Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Prepare the Walnut Filling

1.

Process or chop the walnuts a little bit. Mix with sugar and vanilla and remaining ingredients.

Prepare the Date Filling

1.

Soak the dates in hot water for 10 minutes. Process with the extract, adding water if needed, until creamy.

Assembly

1.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2.

Over a parchment paper, stretch the dough (it may be a little crumbly, but that will only make the end result flakier), spread the date paste, then sprinkle the walnut filling. With the help of the parchment paper, roll it up.

3.

Shape into a triangle and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.

4.

Slice the dough and place the slices on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle over confectioners’ sugar.

Please clarify! Your instructions for “preparing the walnut filling” do not include the ingredients for it, as in the vanilla and orange blossom water?
