Directions

In a large bowl, we put the dough ingredients. We knead until we get a very tight or too soft dough, we cover it with a membrane and we let it rest. At the same time, we prepare the filling as follows: We put all the filling ingredients in a bowl except the honey and we mix lightly. Then we spread with honey the ingredients  and we mix them together. We leave the filling aside for 10 minutes until all fragrances appear. Then we roll the dough on a sheet of 2-3 cm thick. With a small plate, we cut into small round pieces. We place in the middle and a little bit to the side of the dough about 1/3 of the spoon filling. We close the dough, casing the filling into it. We press a little bit with our finger on the joints and we put them in a baking sheet. We bake in preheated oven at 175 ° C for 35 ‘. We remove and we let them cool down, we sprinkle with rosewater and we sprinkle with caster sugar.
