Greek Pumpkin Coils (Rodanchas de Kalvassa)
Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 2 cups pumpkin puree
- 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup walnuts, finely ground
- 1 egg white, beaten (optional for glazing phyllo)
- 1 package prepared phyllo dough
- melted butter or melted olive oil
Directions
- Cook the puree with the sugar in the top of a double boiler until very thick.
- Stir in cinnamon and walnuts.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Lay out 1 sheet of phyllo dough, brush lightly with melted butter or olive oil.
- Cover with a second sheet of dough and brush lightly with butter or oil.
- Using a pastry tube or other convenient technique, place a pencil-thin line of the pumpkin filling along the length of the phyllo dough sheet just inside the edge.
- Fold the edge over to completely cover the pumpkin filling.
- Continue rolling the phyllo dough into a long thin tube.
- Brush lightly with butter or oil as you roll.
- Take one end of the roll and coil up, taking care not to make the coil so tight that it breaks.
- Arrange the coils so they are close together but not touching on an oiled baking sheet.
- If desired, brush completed coil with egg white.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until golden brown.
