Shaabiyat, or custard phyllo triangles, is an easy fast dessert and looks very impressive to serve to friends and family. It’s fun b/c you don’t have to bother cutting anything, each one is its own individual serving. It looks elegant and tastes great.
Yes of course, this week actually. But please go to my site at DedeMed.com for a whole bunch of recipes :)

I've tried this recipe yesterday and it really tastes great! Just like those I always buy from a Turkish bakery that is approximately 80 km from my home . Now I do not have to drive so far, I can easily make them by myself. Many thanks for this wonderful recipe and for all of your other great recipes!
