For the Rolls
- 500 grams Kataifi Pastry Ensure it's room temperature for easier handling.
- 100 grams Unsalted Butter Melted for easy layering.
- 200 grams Walnuts Coarsely chopped.
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Infuses warmth into the filling.

- 1 piece Cinnamon Quill Adds aromatic depth.
- 4 pieces Whole Cloves Enhances overall flavor.

Instructions
Preparation
- Bring your kataifi pastry to room temperature; preheat your oven to 180°C (fan forced) and grease a baking dish with melted butter.
- In a mixing bowl, combine coarsely chopped walnuts with ground cinnamon.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, cinnamon quill, whole cloves, and honey. Boil then simmer for 7 minutes until it thickens.
- Cut kataifi pastry into 18 cm lengths, layer the strands, drizzle with melted butter, and place a tablespoon of the walnut mixture at one end. Roll tightly, tucking in the sides.
- Brush the tops with more melted butter, arrange them in the baking dish, and bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
- Pour cooled syrup over hot rolls immediately and soak for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Allow baked rolls to cool for better texture. For a twist, sprinkle chopped pistachios on top before serving.
