Prep Time20 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time40 mins
Ingredients
 200 Shelled nuts
 4 Powdered sugar
 2 Orange flower water
 50 Soft butter
 1 Egg
 1 sesame seeds
Directions
1

Crush the shelled nuts, butter, sugar, and orange blossom water in your food processor. Stop when you obtain a paste, even if it's still slightly chunky (the nuts should retain their flavor). If you only have a mini processor (connected to an immersion blender, for example), do it in two batches.

2

Unroll the first sheet of puff pastry. If your pastry is round, trim the rounded edges to create a strip with two rounded ends by sticking them together.

3

Spread the nut paste over the pastry base, making sure to cover the edges well.

4

Cover with the second roll of dough, press slightly, and cut into eight or nine stripes (taking into account the rounded edges).

5

Twist each strip, then roll them up on themselves like a snail. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush each snail with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

7

To finish, bake for about twenty minutes and take the tray out of the oven when the pastries are golden. Let cool and store for a few days in a tin box.
