A Persian Confection - Phyllo Crisps
Our son-in-law, Mehran, gave us these delightful light confections for Naw Ruz. They are made with phyllo dough, an old Turkish pastry that has been used in Anatolia for many centuries. The dough is traced back to the Assyrians around the 8th century B.C. The sheets are paper thin, and made from flour, water, and oil. Powdered sugar and finely ground nuts are often inside. I put these in a little dish, and they are smaller than they appear here. They melt in your mouth!
