Instructions
DIRECTIONS TO MAKE THE CRUMBLE:

- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

DIRECTIONS TO MAKE THE RHUBARB FILLING:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.

- Pour in the honey and orange flower water. Mix well and set aside.
DIRECTIONS TO ASSEMBLE STRUDEL:
- Unroll the phyllo gently and spread onto a flat surface.
- Remove one sheet and cover the remainder of stretched-out phyllo with a slightly damp cloth so it will not dry out.
- Place the sheet of dough on top of a similarly sized tea towel. Brush dough with melted butter.
- Repeat 4 more times, layering each sheet on top of the others and then brushing each sheet of dough with melted butter.
- Spread the crumble evenly across the top layer of phyllo.
- Distribute the rhubarb over the crumble evenly across the top layer of dough.
- Use the tea towel at one end to roll the dough and filling into a roll.
- Brush the outer layer of phyllo with more melted butter.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until golden.
- Remove from the oven and cool.
- Divide the strudel into 8 slices. Dust each slice with powdered sugar before serving.
Cooking Tip
Store the strudel at room temperature covered in foil for up to 2 days.
