Soak the almonds in hot water for 2 minutes and peel them.
Process the almonds, sugar, cinnamon, orange blossom water, and butter into a paste.
Cut the pastry sheets into long strips.
Place almond filling on each strip and fold tightly into triangles.
Heat the oil to 170°C and fry the triangles for 4 minutes, until golden.
Warm the honey in a small pot for 3 minutes.
Dip the hot pastries into the honey, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and cool on a rack so the crust does not soften.
💡 Tip: Keeping the almond paste from becoming too wet helps the triangles stay crisp and closed while frying.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve at room temperature with mint tea and orange slices if desired.
