“Warbat” (Cream Filled Pastry)

Ingredients:

For ashta (cream) filling:

- 1 Gallon heavy cream
- 1 Gallon milk
- 3/4 cup cornstarch
- Dash salt
- 1 Tbsp sugar

-18 Sheets phyllo dough
-1 cup melted ghee

Sugar (Attar):

- 1 Cup sugar
- 1 Cup water
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp orange blossom water

Preparation:

To make ashta (cream) filling:

- Whisk the ingredients in a saucepan first, then put over medium heat and whisk for 10 minutes or until thick. If the mixture is too watery, add 2 more tbsp of cornstarch to a small amount of milk and add it to the rest to thicken it up. Store the cream mixture in a bowl, and cover. Refrigerate overnight.

- Cut the phyllo sheets into 12 even squares, using a ruler to make things even. Using an ice cream scooper, put an ice cream sized scoop of the ashta into each square.
- Fold over like a turnover, pressing down on the edges to seal. Arrange the 4 of the turnovers 4 to make a large square.
- Repeat with the rest of the turnovers to make two more large squares.
- Pour melted ghee evenly over each one, then bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.
