Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a small bowl, mix the honey and ground cinnamon until well combined.
-
Carefully unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
-
Take one sheet of phyllo dough and brush it lightly with melted butter. Layer another sheet on top and brush with butter again. Repeat until you have 4 layers.
-
Spread a thin layer of the honey and cinnamon mixture over the top layer of phyllo dough. If using nuts, sprinkle a small amount evenly over the honey mixture.
-
Starting from one end, gently roll the phyllo dough into a tight log. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
-
Brush the tops of the rolls with any remaining melted butter.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.
-
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before slicing them into bite-sized pieces. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Variations & Tips
For a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts. You can also experiment with different fillings, such as adding a touch of vanilla extract to the honey mixture or using a mix of brown sugar and cinnamon for a different flavor profile. If you have picky eaters, consider adding a layer of cream cheese before spreading the honey mixture for a creamy twist. For a more festive touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled roll ups before serving.
