ABOUT Sweet Bird's Nests RECIPE

These crunchy sweet bird's nests are made of ultra thin vermicelli strands which are cooked, and then baked with butter. Chopped almonds and pistachios are drenched in honey and filled inside the baked nests. A generous amount of honey syrup is finally drizzled over them. Delicious bite sized sweets are ready.

Instructions

  1. Boil water in a big pan.
  2. Once the water boils, carefully place the vermicelli strands without breaking into the pan. I used Pakistani vermicelli, which are very fine.

  4. Once done, carefully strain excess water.
  5. Grease cupcake moulds or mini cupcake moulds with little butter.
  6. Place the cooked vermicelli strands in each of the moulds forming circular pattern. Adjust with fingers and press the base and sides to create a shallow space in the center.

  8. Preheat the oven to 180 degree centigrade.
  9. Bake the vermicelli cups for 15 minutes.
  10. Then preheat the oven to 200 degree centigrade.
  11. And bake the vermicelli nests for another 10 minutes.
  12. Allow them to cool down completely.
  13. Meanwhile prepare the nut filling.
  14. For this, take the chopped nuts (almonds and pistachios) in a bowl.
  15. Add half of the honey taken and mix well.
  16. Fill the baked vermicelli baskets with honey coated nuts.
  17. Next prepare a honey syrup by adding 1/2 tsp lemon juice to the remaining honey.
  18. Drizzle this honey syrup all over the vermicelli nests.
  19. Serve these crunchy bird's nests that are drenched in sweetness.
