Ingredients

1 cup milk
0.33333334326744 cup dry farina cereal
0.25 cup honey
1 large egg
8 dried apricots, minced
0.33333334326744 cup chopped walnuts
2 teaspoons finely chopped candied orange peel
1 teaspoon orange extract
6 sheets phyllo dough
2 tablespoons melted butter, or as needed

Directions

1

Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until boiling. Stir in farina, reduce heat to low and vigorously whisk until smooth and thickened. Continue cooking for about 3 minutes until it detaches from the bottom of the pan.

2

Let the mixture cool for around 15 minutes.

3

Combine honey and egg with the cooled farina; whisk until smooth. Then add apricots, walnuts, orange peel, and orange extract; mix well.

4

One sheet at a time, keep the rest covered with a tea towel. Cut each sheet in half crosswise using scissors. Place each phyllo piece into a greased muffin cup, gently pressing it to fill the bottom.

5

Divide the farina filling among muffin cups. Pinch the phyllo tops together and drizzle with melted butter.

6

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes until the tops begin to brown. Loosen pastries from muffin cups using a dinner knife, transfer to a baking sheet and continue baking until golden, for another 10 to 15 minutes.

7

Serve warm or at room temperature.
