Does anyone know if flaounes will still be available in shops next week after the 17th. Thanks

Thanks. I wish I could but don't come out until 17th. Oh well will have to wait until next year as will be there for Easter 2019.

Sounds like you need a nice kind fellow PL member to buy a pack and freeze them for you, brengreen.

Then you collect and pay, via previous PM arrangement? Sorry I cannot help with this, as I'm in UK

Alternatively- here's a recipe:

This small bakery produced very nice ones this Easter: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=271&p=17785&hilit=p ... ery#p17785

Perhaps when they reopen after their Easter break you could order some from them... worth to try, I liked them a lot.

If you can get TV Catch up there was an episode of GBBO where they made them!

That would only be for 7 days Flossie........................

Thanks for all the replies. Maybe I will try making some. Looking forward to some Cypriot air missed it since 2014.

Keep your dentist happy, eat flaounes

Why would your dentist be happy? Isn’t the main ingredient cheese

Well, I may have some news for you.

The farm shop on universal, taxiarchon road, does them all year.

What is a flaoune?

Thanks William Morris. I know exactly where you mean.

Flaouna is a cheese-filled pastry from the island of Cyprus, which may include raisins or be garnished with sesame seeds. Flaounes are traditionally prepared for Easter by Orthodox Greeks

We had them given to us by different neighbours, some good, some not so. Obviously people have recipes that differ.

Good news for brengreen , they had them in Alpha mega today .

I bought one as I have never tried them . Very nice , interestingly they sell them by weight.

I got one in Lidl yesterday. Thanks for the info.
