Mutabbak - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 lb phyllo dough
1 cup rendered butter
1/4 syrup (attar)
2 lbs sweet cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon orange blossom water
Preparation
-
Cut phyllo dough into an even square. Place square on the table and sprinkle with butter, and place the extra pieces of dough in center to reinforce the center.
Fold corners of square dough to the center forming a smaller square.
Mix the cheese, sugar, orange blossom water and place the cheese in the center folding the corners to the center for desired size.
Turn back corners so cheese will show.
Place pieces in greased trays and brush tops with butter. Bake at 375 degrees in a preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until light gold.
Remove from oven and pour cold attar, about 2 tbsp, on each. Garnish with chopped pistachios and enjoy!
