Baklava Fans

Baklava fans drizzled with honey and cinnamon, served with vanilla ice cream

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 200’C
Open the phyllo pastry onto a smooth, dry surface covering the sheets with a damp cloth to keep them moist as the pastry dries out quickly and becomes unmanageable.
Cut the pastry into squares about 20 x 20cm long and brush them with the melted butter.
Drizzle cinnamon and castor mixture onto the pastry, as well as some crushed nuts, and then gently fan the pastry towards 1 side making the shape of a small fan.
Place the fans onto a flat baking sheet and bake them in a hot oven 200’C for approx 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Set aside.
When the fans are cold, drizzle honey and ground cinnamon over them.
To serve, place the baklava on a plate and add a ball of gorgeous store bought vanilla ice cream and drizzle some more sticky honey over the ice cream for delicious effect.
