Ingredients:

1 package ready-made baklava pastry

3 cups milk

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1 cup sugar, or to taste

1 tablespoon rose water

1 tablespoon orange blossom water

1 container ashta or clotted cream

1 tablespoon soft butter

1 cup syrup

Pistachios, for garnish

Method:

Dissolve the cornstarch and sugar in the milk, then place the mixture over medium heat until it thickens. Add the rose water and orange blossom water, stir, then remove from the heat and let cool.

Add the container of ashta to the cooked cream and mix well.

Brush the baklava pastry with butter, fill it, and roll it into the shaibiyat shape. You can also use ready-made molds to shape the pastry. Place the shaibiyat on a baking tray and bake until cooked through. Drizzle the shaibiyat with syrup.

Garnish the shaibiyat with pistachios and serve at room temperature or chilled.
