1. Start by blending the hazelnuts until they are finely ground.
2. In a saucepan, mix the sugar, milk, and water. Heat it gently until the sugar dissolves.
3. Add the ground hazelnuts and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir well and let it cook on low heat until it thickens, about 10 minutes.
4. Once thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool down a bit.
5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
6. Take a sheet of phyllo pastry and brush it with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush it again.
7. Spoon a little of the hazelnut mixture onto one end of the pastry. Roll it up tightly, folding in the sides as you go to make a cigar shape.
8. Place the rolled cigars on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with more melted butter.
9. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
10. Once baked, let them cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy these delightful hazelnut custard cigars with your family and friends! They’re perfect for any occasion!
