Cheezz that is so beautiful that I'm trying to think of who I can throw a tea for
Here ya go -- REC: Honey Nut Pastries (rather like a cheesecake pastry)
Sounds odd, rolling around a wooden handle, but you get the hang of it real fast and phyllo is SO forgiving.
Honey & Nut Pastries
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup butter, melted
8 sheets phyllo
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup honey
About 1-1/2 hours before serving: In bowl, with mixture at low speed, beat first 3 ingredients. Stir in raisins and refrigerate. Preheat oven to 375 deg. Brush 1 sheet of phyllo with some butter, fold crosswise in half. Roll from long side around a wooden-spoon handle, to 1” from phyllo edge. Push ends towards center for a “ruffled” effect.
Slide the crimped phyllo roll off the handle and gently curve it to form a circle. Brush ends lightly with water, overlap slightly and press firmly to seal. (the 1” you left un-crimped will form the bottom of the pastry circle. Place the phyllo nest on an ungreased large cookie sheet and brush with some melted butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo to make 8 rounds in all.
Spoon the cheese mixture evenly into the 8 nests and top with walnuts. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until golden. Grate 1 tbl. Peel and squeeze 3 tbl. Juice from the orange. In saucepan over low heat, heat peel, juice and honey. Serve with honey glaze. Garnish with orange slices and lemon leaves if desired.
