Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Phyllo Sheets

Unroll the *phyllo dough* sheets and cover them with a slightly damp cloth to prevent drying. Brush each sheet lightly with vegetable oil to ensure they are well-coated.

Step 2

Assemble the Filling

Grate the *pumpkin* and mix with the sugar and chopped *walnuts*. Spread this mixture evenly over the oiled phyllo sheets. Use about 3-4 sheets for each burma.

Step 3

Roll the Burma

Carefully roll each sheet with the filling into a spiral or *snail* shape. Use toothpicks to secure the ends and prevent them from unrolling.

Step 4

Bake the Pie

Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit). Place the burma on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until the dough turns a light golden *brown*.

Servings

Dive into your pumpkin pastry while it's still warm from the oven! Picture yourself serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice creamβ€”the contrast in textures and temperatures is just dreamy. 🍦🍰

Pair it with a hot chai or spiced latte for a cozy afternoon treat. The spices in the drink beautifully complement the sweet, nutty flavors of the burma. β˜•πŸ§

For a festive twist, sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top before serving. The extra touch of spice will have you and your guests going back for seconds, guaranteed! πŸ˜‹βœ¨

Equipment

Faq

  • How do I prevent the phyllo dough from drying out?

    Cover the unused phyllo sheets with a damp cloth while you work to keep them from drying and cracking.

  • Can I use a different type of nut?

    Absolutely! Swap walnuts for pecans or almonds for a different taste and texture.

  • Why does my pastry come out soggy?

    Ensure each sheet of phyllo is lightly brushed with oil; too much liquid from the filling can also lead to sogginess.

  • What's the best way to store leftovers?

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.

  • How can I enhance the pumpkin flavor?

    Add spices like cinnamon and nutmeg to the pumpkin for extra warmth and depth of flavor.

  • How do I know when my pastry is perfectly baked?

    A golden-brown color on the top and a firm texture are good indicators that your pastry is baked to perfection.
