Method
 

Prepare the Filling

  3. Cut the pastry into strips about 10 cm wide. Place a spoonful of filling at one end of each strip.
  4. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle, then continue folding in a triangular shape until you reach the end of the strip. Seal the edge with a little melted butter.
  5. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.
Bake the Briouats
