Ingredients
1 pound phyllo, thawed and at room temperature
8-10 oz (about 250g) unsalted butter, melted
Topping: ground cinnamon
For the Syrup:
4 cups granulated sugar
3 cups water
1 cinnamon stick
zest of a lemon or orange
juice of a lemon or orange
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300 °F, 150 °C.
Make the Syrup: Combine the sugar, water, citrus zest and juice in a saucepan. Add the cinnamon and bring to a boil. Once the sugar has melted remove the pan from the heat and add the vanilla and honey. Mix together and set aside to cool completely.
Assemble the Pastries:
Place one sheet of phyllo on your work surface and drizzle butter on top of it. Brush water all around the border of the phyllo layer and cover with another layer of phyllo. Drizzle with butter and roll it up. Seal the top by brushing with water. (See video)
Place the rolls on a baking tray.
Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Cut the rolls into about 1-inch pieces.
Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven until golden and crisp. About 1 hour and 30 minutes. Check them at 1 hour and 15 minutes.
As soon as they are baked pour the cooled syrup on top and set aside to cool. Sprinkle the kourkoubinia with ground cinnamon.
Serve with Greek coffee.
Notes
Freezer Instructions: Assemble the pastries and chill in the freezer. Cut the pastries. Wrap the tray(s) with plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Bake until golden and then pour the syrup on top.
