Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Karen Mintzias Ground cinnamon
1 lb Commercial raw kadaifi dough 1/2 c Orange juice (optional)
1/2 c Sweet butter; melted 2 c Water
1 1/2 c Finely chopped almonds * 1/2 c Honey
3 1/2 c Granulated sugar 2 tb Lemon juice

*Note: Use blanched almonds.

Open the raw kadaifi dough to the air for 10 to 15 minutes. Spread
half the pastry evenly over the bottom of a 9 x 12 x 3-inch baking
pan and brush with half the butter. Meanwhile, combine the almonds,
1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and orange juice in a small
bowl. (The orange juice will make the mixture like a paste that can
be spread with a knife.) Spread the almond mixture over the kadaifi
and cover with the remaining dough. Brush with the remaining butter
and bake in a moderate oven (350 F) for 40 minutes or slightly
longer, until golden on top.

Meanwhile, boil the remaining 3 cups sugar with water for 5 minutes.
Stir in the honey and lemon juice, bring to a boil and keep hot.
When done, remove the pastry to a rack to cool in the pan, then spoon
the hot syrup over the pastry. Cover with a dry towel and allow to
cool thoroughly. When cool, cut into square or diamond shapes of any
desired size. Dust with additional ground cinnamon just before
serving on dessert plates.
