Preparing the Almond Filling

1
Preheat Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Toast Almonds
Place the blanched almonds on a baking sheet and toast for 10-15 minutes until golden.
3
Prepare Almond Paste
Grind the toasted almonds, sugar, and cinnamon in a food processor until finely ground. Add orange blossom water and melted butter to form a thick paste.

Preparing the Phyllo Wrapping

1
Unfold Phyllo
Carefully unfold the phyllo dough. Keep it covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.

2
Butter the Phyllo
Place one sheet of phyllo on a clean surface and brush with melted butter.
Tip: Use a pastry brush for even butter distribution.
3
Assemble Briouats
Fold the sheet lengthwise to make a long strip and place a tablespoon of almond filling at one end. Fold into a triangle, continuing to fold until the end of the strip.
