Turkish Delight Filo Bonbons
Photography by Vanessa Wu.
INGREDIENTS
12 sheets filo pastry
100 grams butter, melted
15 pieces rose flavoured Turkish Delight
icing sugar
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Cut each piece of Turkish Delight into 4 pieces, tossing them through the icing sugar they came in, to prevent them clumping together.
Using one piece of filo at a time, (keep the rest under a slightly damp tea-towel to prevent it from drying out) brush with melted butter. Lay 5 pieces of diced Turkish Delight along the edge of the long side of the pastry, leaving a 6 cm border at each end. Roll it up into a cylinder, and brush with melted butter. Gently but firmly twist the ends of the filo to form a bonbon. Don’t twist the pastry before buttering or the ends will snap off. Place on a lined baking tray. Repeat with the remaining filo pastry and Turkish Delight to give you 12 bonbons. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and crisp. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
To serve: Stack the bonbons on a plate and dust with icing sugar.
