These sweet little walnut-filled rolls are delicious.  Despite appearances they're not made with angel hair pasta, but rather with a special type of pastry called kadaif.  If I had an angel hair attachment for my pasta machine I would probably have had a go at running some filo pastry through it, but I wasn't going to go out and buy the attachment just for something that may or may not work.

We're so accustomed to buying stuff over the internet that I don't feel too bad putting the odd recipe on here where an unusual purchase is required.  You may have luck finding kadaif at a Turkish food shop, but I went the lazy route and found mine at www.melburyandappleton.co.uk.  They have an excellent website with a whole range of unusual ingredients from around the world and were quick to update my order when I stupidly input the wrong delivery address, I will definitely use them again.

If your kadaif is frozen, be sure to transfer it to the fridge a day before use to allow it time to defrost.  If you have long hair like I have, teasing apart the pastry prior to use will feel very very familiar...
