The dough: 1 roll of Fillo dough (or pastilla dough if you can find it)
Ingredients for the filling: 2 cups of walnuts 2 Tbsp of sugar 1 Tbsp of cinnamon 2 1/2 Tbsp of butter 1 Tbsp of orange blossom

Steps to make the walnut filling: 1- Drizzle oil on a cooking pan and roast the walnuts for 2 minutes to enhance their flavor. 2- Grind very finely the walnuts. You might have to do this process 2-3 times until you get a very smooth consistency. 3- Continue grinding the walnut with the sugar and cinnamon. 4- Add the melted butter and blossom water to the walnuts paste.
Steps to roll the Briwat: 1- Because Fillo dough is a very delicate dough, take 2 leafs of Fillo dough (one on top of the other). 2- Generously brush the top Fillo leaf with melted butter. 3- Cut the Fillo in 4 long strips. 4- Put the filling in the left tip of the stip then cover the filling with the right tip to make a triangle. (see Briwat video) 5- Keep moving the Fillo dough strip left and right to make a triangle. 6- Brush the last tip of the Fillo with egg yolk and close the Briwat. Note: Don't worry if the Briwat are not perfect, once they are fried, all the imperfections will disappear :-)
Steps to cook the Briwat: 1- In hot oil, fry the Briwat for few minutes until golden brown. 2- Drain the Briwat from the oil, and dip them in warm honey. 3- Drain the Briwat from the honey and sprinkle them with sesame seeds. 4- Serve cold with Moroccan tea!
