Инструкции
- Place the wheat in a large bowl, and let soak overnight in a cold place.
- To make dough
- Combine flour, cinnamon and salt, in a large bowl, beat butter and confectioners' sugar till light and fluffy. Add in the egg and egg yolk and beat till smooth. Beat in orange-flower water, add in dry ingredients and stir just till blended. Shape dough into 2 disks, one slightly larger than the other.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigeratefor at least 1 hour, or possibly overnight.
- To Make filling
- Drain soaked wheat and place it in a saucepan with salt and water to cover.
- Simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, till wheat is tender, 20 to 30 min. Drain and place in large bowl. Stir in butter and orange zest.
- Let cold.
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine ricotta, Large eggs, sugar, orange flower water and cinnamon. Beat till blended, stir in wheat mix, citron, and orange peel. Mix should resemble a medium-thick porridge. It it is too stiff, thin with a little lowfat milk.

- Roll out remaining dough into 10 inch circle, cut the dough into 1/2 inch wide strips (with a fluted pastry cutter, if possible) Place the strips over the filling in a lattice pattern. Press ends against the bottom pastry to seal.
- Bake for 1 1/2 hrs, or possibly till well-browned on top. Let cold in the pan for 15 min, then remove rim of pan and cold completely on a wire rack.
