These are known as “gata” in Armenian but typically take a few hours of prep time with a bit more technical steps. Here is an easy version inspired by famed Armenian YouTuber/Home Chef Heghine
•Puff pastry sheets (you can use one large or the smaller square sheets)
•150 g butter, melted
•200 – 250 g sugar (or to your desired sweetness)
•1 egg white
•1 tbsp vanilla
•250 g of flour
•1 egg plus the yolk from the earlier egg
•1 tbsp cinnamon
•1 c chopped walnuts
Mix the sugar, egg white and vanilla. slowly add the melted butter until a paste forms. Make sure sugar is dissolved
Add flour, mix with hand until well combined and a squeeze of the mixture forms in your hand without breaking shape.
Flatten the puff pastry sheet to thin it out and expand the size.
Layer the filling to the edges and press down with rolling pin.
Mix the walnuts and cinnamon and sprinkle over the mixture.
Roll the pastry sheets into a log. Once rolled, flatten the top with your hand to form a more square shape.
Cut into your desired size
Brush each piece with 1 egg + 1 egg yolk mixture
Bake at 375 *F for 30 min or until golden brown
