Armenian Fillo dough dessert that is Heavenly!


INGREDIENTS:
1 box frozen fillo dough [available in most markets]
Corn starch [separating medium for fillo] optional
1/2 lbs. clarified butter
1/2 lbs. Crisco¨ shortening
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups grated walnuts
Pinch of cinnamon [optional]

PREPARATION:

Mix  clarified butter and Crisco¨ together,  heat and then set aside until ready to bake bourma.  Take a
cookie sheet and butter or cooking spray.

Mix nuts, sugar and cinnamon together and set aside. Take 2 fillo sheets and place one sheet on the table and brush with butter. Place a second sheet on the first and brush with butter.

Evenly spread 1-2 tablespoons of filling mixture across the center 1/3 of the sheet.
Take another sheet of filo dough and place over the filling. Butter it and place another sheet on top of it. (Four sheets in all)

Take a 5/16 inch wooden dowel and "loosely" roll up the fillo dough onto the dowel. Holding the dowel from each end, gently push your hands together. [ABOUT AN INCH ON EACH END TO GENTLY PUCKER UP THE DOUGH] Gently slip the dough off the dowel onto the cookie sheet. Repeat this process until the cookie is full [one layer only].

Brush the butter/Crisco¨ mixture over the dough and then bake in a 350 degree oven until light golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool. Take the bourma and cut into 3 in. pieces. To serve, drizzle warm sugar-lemon-honey syrup over the top.

SYRUP:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup honey
1 cup water
1/4 cup lemon juice
Combine the sugar, honey and water and cook for 10 minutes. Add lemon juice and cook for 2 minutes.
