1 teaspoon lemon juice
Pastry
1 lb phyllo dough (gullash in Egyptian)
1 tablespoon cinnamon

1
Cut the pastry into 4 inch squares and keep covered so that they don't dry out. Plastic wrap covered by a damp tea-towel works well.

Add cinnamon to nut mix.
3
On each square, place nut filling thinly, pencil shaped, about 1/2 inch from the sides of the dough.

Turn in the sides so the filling won't fall out, and then roll up tightly and place on a buttered tray.
5
Brush with the melted butter and bake in a 350 degree oven until golden.
6
Remove from tray and dip immediately into cold sugar syrup.
7
Serve hot or cool.
