Ingredients

6 rice paper sheets

2 eggs

3 tbsp honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup walnuts or mixed nuts (chopped)

1/2 cup pistachios (chopped)

3 tsp cinnamon

Directions

Combine the chopped nuts, reserving about 1 tablespoon of pistachios for topping. Add 1 tablespoon honey and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and mix well.

Crack the eggs onto a plate, add 1 tablespoon honey and 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and whisk together.

Dip a rice paper sheet into the egg mixture and place it on a lightly oiled board. Repeat with two more sheets, laying them slightly overlapping in a line.

Spoon the filling in a line across the rice paper and roll into a tight cylinder. Gently curve it into a spiral.

Place the spiral on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with remaining egg wash, drizzle with honey, top with chopped pistachios, and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon.

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes, until golden and crisp. Keep an eye on the pistachios so they don’t burn.
