One of the easiest recipes is OM Aly.

1. Place 4 Filo Pastry sheets in a Medium hot oven until very light brown.
2. Break the sheets of filo in a large rectanagle baking dish (about 30cm x 15cm).
3. Boil 4 cups of milk, with about 5 tablespoons of sugar (you may want to add more), and pour is slowly on top of the pastry.
4. Sprinkle on some nuts and sultanas. (peanuts and almonds work well).
5. Place in a 200 Degree Celcius Oven for about 40 minutes, or until Golden Brown. Let it rest for about 20 minutes until it slightly thickens.

NOTES: when it comes out of the oven, it may seem a little watery, but the longer it stays out of the oven, the more it will thicken.

This can be eaten HOT or cold. Enjoy!

Yes. I like this one:
Kahk (Authentic Recipe):
2 cup(s) samn balady.
1 cup(s) milk.
4 1/2 cup(s) flour, all purpose.
2 tablespoons baking powder.
1 teaspoon(s) instant yeas.
1 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon.
1 teaspoon(s) ground cloves.
1 teaspoon(s) ground ginger.
sesame seeds.

Method:
1. Heat the samn balady until almost boiling.
2. Add the baking powder and the spices to the flour.
3. Carefully add the flour to the hot samn balady and stir with a wooden spoon.
4. Keep stirring and stirring and stirring.
5. When you get tired (honestly this is part of the recipe as given to me by my friend's mother in law, ... tired = your arms are ready to fall off) then you can stop stirring. Her recipe said not to use a wooden spoon but to knead the flour into the hot samna, but I do not do that part. I have not tried using a food processor.
6. When the mixture cools down a little, but is still warm, (ie you can knead it with your hands without causing permanent damage), add the instant yeast to the milk with a teaspoon of sugar, then stir gently into the dough.
7. Knead it for a short while, cover and let it rest. (Officially you should shape the kahk now and let it rest later).
8. After an hour or so you can start shapping the dough with your hands into little balls and then flatten them.
9. You can add nuts, agwa, or other filling when you are making it into balls.
10. Put them in a cookie tray and let them rest for a little.
11. Then put them in a preheated oven (345 F), and watch them. Usually 15 minutes is enough.
12. Take them out, wait until they cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar just before eating.

Go to w.w.w.touregypt. Then have a look under the heading of the food and receipe section.
There are a lot of really yummy recipies there. Tour Egypt is the Egyptian Government Department of Tourism's web site, and is full of all things Egyptian.
