¼ tsp of ground Cardamom

  1. Place walnuts, cinnamon, cloves, and salt into a food processor- Pulse 10 times until walnuts grinded

  2. Place layers of thawed Phyllo dough into a pan- brush each one with melted butter. - Place 8 layers

  3. After you place the 8 layers, add ⅕ of the walnut based filling you grinded evenly

  4. After you evenly place the filling, add phyllo dough on top similar to the bottom

  5. Once layered, cut into pieces with a knife- whatever shape you want!
