Melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat.

* Step 3

Place the almonds (after they have cooled), the sugar, the cinnamon and the nutmeg into a blender and blend.

* Step 4

After working a bit on the kataifi shredded dough to separate the strands and make them a bit fluffy, cut pieces of it and spread them out so that they form long strips.

* Step 5

Brush the edge of the strip with butter and place 1 heaping tsp of filling.

* Step 6

Roll it carefully so that the filling is thoroughly covered.

* Step 7

Place the rolls in a round baking tray (24 cm) and brush them with butter.
