    Nazook, this desserts spells trouble for me, the homemade puff pastry like dough is buttery and flaky, the filling of walnuts and sugar, way too good! This would make a lovely dessert for any occasion and wonderful with tea or coffee for breakfast and surprisingly very easy to make. A perfect ending to our Armenian meal!
