Preheat the oven to 180 ° C

Grease a flat baking sheet and for 4-leaf tray, butter each of them with the butter. The plates must be pulled up to cover the edge of the baking plate. Sprinkle ½ cup of nutmeg in addition to the file plates. Sprinkle some of the coconut syrup and melted butter on top of the nuts. Cover again with two file plates, each to be lubricated with the butter. Repeat 3 times. Then cover the last layer of nuts, syrup and butter with the last 4 greased file plates.

Squeeze the file plates hard against the edge of the baking plate and straighten the edge with a sharp knife if necessary. Cut through the tops of the file plates in 24 equal diamonds shaped shapes.
