Ingredients

• Almonds - 100 grams, ground
• Walnuts - 50 grams, ground
• Sugar - 50 grams
• Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Orange blossom water - 2 tablespoons
• Egg - 1, beaten (for sealing)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the ground almonds, ground walnuts, sugar, cinnamon, and orange blossom water. Mix well until fully combined.
2. Lay a sheet of gluten-free rice paper on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted butter.
3. Place a tablespoon of the nut mixture on one edge of the sheet and fold the sides over it, then roll it up tightly to form a small parcel. Seal the edges with beaten egg.
4. Repeat the process with the remaining rice paper sheets and filling until all are used.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little more melted butter.
6. Fry the briouats in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
