Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Powdered sugar - 30 grams
• Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Rose water - 1 tablespoon
• Egg - 1 (beaten)
• Rice paper sheets - 4 sheets
• Honey - 50 grams
• Water - 50 ml
• Butter - 20 grams (melted)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and rose water to form a smooth filling.
2. Add the beaten egg to the almond mixture and mix well until fully incorporated.
3. Soak the rice paper sheets in warm water for about 10 seconds until soft and pliable.
4. Lay a soaked rice paper sheet on a clean surface and place about 1 tablespoon of the almond filling at the edge.
5. Fold the edges over the filling and roll it up tightly to form a cigar shape. Repeat with the remaining sheets and filling.
6. In a skillet, heat the melted butter over medium heat. Fry the briouats for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
7. In a small saucepan, combine honey and water, and heat gently until well mixed.
8. Once the briouats are fried, immediately dip them in the honey mixture, making sure they are well coated.
9. Serve warm, drizzled with any remaining honey sauce.
