STRAWBERRIES UNDER A HONEY GLAZED FILO BLANKET

Ingredients...

Strawberries
Filo Dough
Sugar
Honey
So Much Butter (My God)

Pistachios should be on this list.

This was a thin little dessert. These are what my measurements were and if you actually make this, you might want to double it. Experimenting as usual.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
I sliced a bunch of strawberries that ended up about 3 cups. I placed them in a bowl and dumped about 1/4 cup of sugar and mixed. Got out the filo (remember you always keep in the freezer and take out 24 hours before you use) and use all the butter that you have in your house. I ended up using, I think almost 2 sticks of butter and like I said, this little dessert was a skinny mini, like maybe an inch tall? Maybe 2...

So, melt butter in a coffee mug and get out your basting brush, you're also using a cookie sheet for this thing. Brush on the butter in between each sheet, you will be using 10 sheets for the base. After your 10 cover with a layer of your sugary strawberries and drizzle honey all over. Continue back with the filo/butter process, this time only doing sets of 5, then of course another layer of strawberries and repeat.

I baked this cute little dessert for 25 minutes. It was good, maybe some vanilla bean ice cream would be a good compliment- defiantly the pistachios next time. It just needs to be perfected, like many things in life.



IF THIS DISH WERE AN OUTFIT
