Almond and rose cigars
C’est un petit voyage au Maghreb que je vous propose aujourd’hui avec cette recette de cigares aux amandes. Léa et F. sont partis au Maroc il n’y a pas si longtemps et c’est à la suite de leur retour que j’ai eu envie de faire ces pâtisseries orientales. Oui car ce jour là Monsieur et moi étions invité à manger chez eux et il fallait bien rester dans le thème pour accompagner le tajine au poulet de Léa ! C’est donc sur une note sucrée (mais pas trop quand même) et au bon goût de rose que nous avons fini le repas. Everyone loved it even though we weren't very hungry anymore., it's true that these almond cigars are very addictive !!!
Treat yourself and prepare a little treat !!!
Almond and rose cigars
Ingredients (for twenty)
- 170 g whole almond powder
- 10 brick sheets
- 75 g cane sugar
- 150 g of honey (here acacia honey)
- 1 c. to s. rose water
- 50 g of butter
Description
Preheat the oven to 170°.
In a salad bowl, mix together the almond powder, rose water, and sugar to form a paste. Form 20 sausages.
Cut the pastry sheets in half to obtain a half circle. Place a sausage of marzipan on the sheet, fold the sides then roll it up to form a cigar. Arrange in a baking dish and repeat until exhausted.
Melt the butter then spread it with a brush on the cigars.
Bake 10-12 minutes so that they begin to brown.
Heat the honey then pour it over the cigars, roll them in so that they soak up well.
Serve cold with a good mint tea !

14.9.13They make me want these cigars ! But little concern of gluten intolerance, so what can I replace the sheets of bricks with ? Will the rice papers have the same rendering? ? Merci.
