Kataiyiff
This is a classic with Turkish Jews. It is a bit sticky, but very delicious.
1 pound fine noodles
Salt
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup slivered almonds or hazelnuts
1 cup honey
Cook noodles in slightly salted water until tender, then drain thoroughly. Pack into a shallow oblong pan and, when cold and caked, turn out and cut into squares. Arrange on a well-greased baking sheet and cover each slice with nuts. Pour honey over each piece and bake 20 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Serve with a sprinkling of nuts on each and drizzle more honey over the nuts.
