This is a wonderful recipe for Purim.

3 cups almonds
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cardamom
2 tablespoons rose water or orange blossom water
1 package filo pastry

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Grind the almonds and mix together with remaining ingredients. The mixture should be moist.

Cut the filo into 3 parts and cover with a damp towel. Take one piece of filo and fold it about 2 inches from the bottom up. Insert a pencil in the fold. Put one tablespoon of the mixture above the pencil and roll. Push the 2 sides to the middle and slide the pencil out. Bake for 10 minutes, until light golden in color.
