For the saragli:
14 crust sheets
270 gr. butter, melted + extra for buttering the pan
150 gr. walnuts, crushed
150 gr. pistachios of Aegina, crushed
1 kg cinnamon, grated
For the syrup:
500 gr. granulated sugar
300 ml of water
50 gr. honey
1 cinnamon stick

Composition: Place a sheet of crust on the workbench with the smaller side facing us, lightly butter it, cover it with another sheet, which we also butter, and then sprinkle with some of the filling.

Then, put 2 small sticks in the middle of the leaves, fold leaving a little space from the edges and wrap in a roll. Remove the sticks and press the saragli inwards, so as to give it a uniform shape.

Immediately after, place the saragli in a rectangular buttered oven pan measuring 40x30 cm and butter its entire surface with a brush. Follow the same procedure for the other leaves.
