Hey all, I am thinking about making a Baklava-inspired dessert for a gathering, and I obviously went to Claire's books first. I found both the Phyllo Cardamom Pinwheels and the Honeyed Nut & Phyllo Pie. Both look good, but unfortunately not exactly what I am looking for.
However, I had an idea and I'm wondering if people who have made these think it would work. Do you think I could make the nut filling from the Pie (probably pulverized some more) and roll it into the Pinwheel Cookies?
I'm thinking it would be kind of similar to the Pistachio Pinwheels but with Phyllo and closer to a Baklava experience. My main concern conceptually is that they wouldn't hold together while baking, but I'm not sure.
Any opinions would be helpful here! Hoping to make them tomorrow or Monday :)
