Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C and roast the almonds in a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper for 12 minutes.
2

Melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat.
3

Place the almonds (after they have cooled), the sugar, the cinnamon and the nutmeg into a blender and blend.
4

After working a bit on the kataifi shredded dough to separate the strands and make them a bit fluffy, cut pieces of it and spread them out so that they form long strips.
5

Brush the edge of the strip with butter and place 1 heaping tsp of filling.
6

Roll it carefully so that the filling is thoroughly covered.
7

Place the rolls in a round baking tray (24 cm) and brush them with butter.
8

Just before you remove the baking tray from the oven, prepare the syrup, which you make over strong heat and leave it for three minutes after it starts boiling.
9

Remove the kataifi from the oven and pour the hot syrup over it.
