Filling and Dough

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix the finely chopped pistachios, sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Phyllo Dough

    Unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Lady’s Fingers

    Take one sheet of phyllo dough, brush it lightly with melted butter, and place another sheet on top. Repeat this process until you have 3-4 layers. Cut the dough into strips about 3 inches wide.

  4. 4

    Fill and Roll

    Place a small spoonful of the pistachio filling at one end of the strip, then roll it tightly into a finger shape. Place the rolled pastry seam-side down on a baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the lady’s fingers until golden brown, approximately 20-25 minutes.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Honey Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine honey and water. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

  7. 7

    Glaze the Pastries

    Once out of the oven, immediately brush the lady’s fingers with the honey syrup while they are still warm.
