Kadaifi

Ingredients
 

1 lb commercial raw kadaifi dough
1/2 cup sweet butter, melted
1 1/2 cup finely chopped almonds *
3 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 ground cinnamon
1/2 cup orange juice (optional)
2 cup water
1/2 cup honey
2 tbsp lemon juice

Preparation
 
*Note: Use blanched almonds.

Open the raw kadaifi dough to the air for 10 to 15
minutes. Spread half the pastry evenly over the
bottom of a 9 x 12 x 3-inch baking pan and brush with
half the butter. Meanwhile, combine the almonds, 1/2
cup sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and orange juice in
a small bowl. (The orange juice will make the mixture
like a paste that can be spread with a knife.) Spread
the almond mixture over the kadaifi and cover with the
remaining dough. Brush with the remaining butter and
bake in a moderate oven (350 F) for 40 minutes or
slightly longer, until golden on top.

Meanwhile, boil the remaining 3 cups sugar with water
for 5 minutes. Stir in the honey and lemon juice,
bring to a boil and keep hot. When done, remove the
pastry to a rack to cool in the pan, then spoon the
hot syrup over the pastry. Cover with a dry towel and
allow to cool thoroughly. When cool, cut into square
or diamond shapes of any desired size. Dust with
additional ground cinnamon just before serving on
dessert plates.
