For the almond stuffing :
In a bowl, mix together powdered almonds, sugar and cinnamon.
Add the melted butter and the orange flower water, and mix with your hands so you will get a dough that will hold enough to make tiny balls.
Cut strips into filo pastry (4 strips per sheet).
Form a tiny ball of almond dough.
Put it a one edge of a filo pastry strip, and fold in a triangle, like samosas. Use beaten egg to stick the pastry at the end.
Cook briouats in hot cooking oil, until they get brown.
Dip each briouat into hot honey, leave a few seconds, then drain it.
There you are, you briouats are ready ! And they are even better with some sweet green tea with mint !
