RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE DAKTYLA FROM CYPRUS

Daktylada is a delicious traditional Cyprus dessert, characterized by being a sweet roll filled with almonds and covered with syrup. Next, I will teach you how to prepare this exquisite Cypriot delicacy.

Daktyla ingredients:

Preparation of Daktyla step by step:

In a bowl, mix the ground almonds with the sugar and cinnamon.

Cut the filo dough into strips approximately 5cm wide.

Place a tablespoon of the almond mixture on one end of each strip of filo dough and roll them into rolls.

Place the rolls on a baking tray previously greased with butter.

Using a brush, spread the rolls with the melted butter.

Bake at 180°C for approximately 20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
