Znoud El Sit

Phyllo Dough

Milk

Heavy Cream

tb. White Granulated Sugar

tb. Cornstarch

Rose Water

Orange Blossom Water

Rose Water Syrup

Make the ashta (cream filling) by combining the whole milk,heavy cream, sugar, and cornstarch in a small pot. Place over medium heat and begin whisking. After a couple of minutes, the mixture will begin to thicken,keep whisking for about 5 more minutes. Turn off the stove and add in the rose water and orange blossom water. Whisk thoroughly to combine. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.

Prepare the phyllo dough for the Znoud El Sit by cutting them into long rectangular strips about 4 inches wide.

Place a strip of phyllo horizontally and then place another strip over it vertically towards the bottom.

Add about 2 tablespoons of the ashta right in the middle of the vertical strip and fold over both sides. Roll the horizontal strip starting from the bottom over the folded one. Use a little bit of water to help seal the Znoud El Sit as needed.

Heat a large skillet with a neutral oil to 350 degrees. Fry the rolls in batches for about 4 minutes, flipping them over halfway through,until golden brown. Have the warm ater (simple syrup) ready in a large bowl.Drop the rolls immediately from the fryer into the ater, for about 30 seconds then transfer to a serving plate.

Decorate with ground pistachios. Serve at room temperature or cold. Enjoy!
