  • M'hencha (M'hanncha) is a Moroccan Pastry Cake. It's name means "snake cake" or "serpent cake" due to it's coiled form. Today we are making it the easy way in bite-size pieces!
    WRITTEN RECIPE: goo.gl/QFlNtT
    INGREDIENTS:
    250 grams Warka (or Phyllo Dough)
    250 grams almond paste ( • Homemade Almond Paste ... )
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    4 tablespoons (56 grams) butter
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    1 egg
    Honey
    WRITTEN RECIPE:
    1- First, let’s prepare the ingredients.
    Mix the almond paste with the ground cinnamon.
    In a saucepan, on medium heat, melt the butter and the vegetable oil together; then place in a bowl.
    Break the egg into a small bowl an beat with a fork.
    2- On your workstation, drizzle a little bit of the butter-oil mixture, split the almond paste into two, and roll each portion into a log about the thickness of your thumb.
    3- Place a pastilla leaf into your work station. If you are using large pastille, fold it into two. If your pastille leaf is small, superpose one on top of the other.
    4- Place an almond paste log on the pastille dough edge closest to you.
    5- Drizzle a little bit of the butter-oil mixture on the pastille dough.
    6- Fold the side edges on the pastilla dough over the almond paste rod, and roll the pastilla dough along with the almond paste, as if you were rolling a carpet.
    7- Brush the top the pastille roll with the egg wash
    8-Do the same for the other almond paste log.
    9- Cut the rolls into bite size pieces, but you don’t have to cut all the way through. The rolls should still hold their shapes together.
    Place the rolls in a buttered baking pan.
    10- Bake in a preheated oven to 400 F / 200 C for 15 minutes or until the rolls get a beautiful golden color.
    As soon as your remove the rolls from the oven, drizzle honey on top of them.
    11- Slice and separate the bite size pieces, and place them in small paper cups.
    12- Let the Mhencha pieces cool completely before serving!
    Bon appetite

    Great video sis! What am I to do with the left over phyllo dough? I don't like wasting it but read I shouldn't re-freeze it. And if left alone it'll dry up

    • @cookingwithalia
      @cookingwithalia  Před 6 lety +1

      you have to wrap it really well and freeze it again. Phyllo is a really sensitive dough.
