Directions
- lay out each sheet of unrolled fillo vertically.
- place dowel at bottom end and sprinkle sugar and walnut mixture just above the dowel rod and roll upwards. (loosley) some might puncture through but it will be ok.
- once rolled all the way up take both ends pinch and push towards the center until creating a crinkle/wormy effect.(make sure to cover unused sheets they need to stay soft,...if dry dough will crack try to work quickly!)
