INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 180C, 350 F or Gas Mark 4.  Mix the walnuts, sugar,
egg and cinnamon in a bowl.  Pull out a small handful of pastry, spread
it out and place a  tablespoon of filling in the middle in an elongated
shape. Wrap it  firmly in the pastry, folding both sides inwards and
rolling it. It  should look like a short, stout cigar.  Arrange the
little parcels neatly side by side in a buttered ovenproof  dish, with
the loose ends underneath. The pastries should not touch  each other,
otherwise their sides will not crisp. Brush the melted  butter all over
the top and bake for 30 minutes.  Increase the oven temperature to 200
C, 400 F, Gas Mark 6 and cook  for 5 more minutes.  In the meantime,
boil the syrup ingredients for 10 minutes, until  slightly thickened.
When the Kadaif are cooked, slowly pour the hot syrup over them.
Sprinkle some chopped pistachio nuts over them and let them stand in
the dish to absorb all the syrup.  The pieces can then be arranged on a
platter. Keep them at room  temperature, covered to stop them drying
out.  Converted by MC_Buster.  Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
