Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons honey, divided
- 1 tablespoon soft butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 3 sheets phyllo pastry wrap leftovers in wet towel and refrigerate
- 2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate pieces
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 5 dried figs, coarsely chopped
- Cotton kitchen string
Instructions
- Mix 2 tablespoons honey and 1 tablespoon soft butter until smooth. Set aside until serving time.
- Preheat oven to 375°. While working, keep phyllo pastry covered with a wet cloth towel to prevent it from drying out.
- Mix vegetable oil and melted butter in a small dish. Place one phyllo sheet on the counter and brush with oil mixture. Repeat with the second and third layers. Cut sheets into four equal rectangles with a sharp knife or kitchen scissors.
- In a small bowl, combine chocolate, pine nuts and figs. Place a spoonful of chocolate mixture in center of each pastry. Drizzle with a little honey. Draw up pastry edges to center and twist gently to form a package. Tie loosely with kitchen string.
- Bake 6-8 minutes until browned. Spoon 2 teaspoons honey butter in center of each plate and set each warm phyllo pastry on top. Remove string and serve.
