How To Make Baklava

Info About How To Make Baklava

Roll out thin sheets of phyllo dough. Each sheet needs a coat of melted butter before it settles in the pan. Slide that pan into the oven and watch how heat makes the dough crisp.

Start by chopping walnuts, almonds and pistachios into tiny pieces. Stir in a touch of cinnamon. Scoop handfuls of that mix onto the buttered layers and press them down. You slice the stack into diamond shapes or squares. The oven bakes the pieces and the top glows golden.

Mix sugar and water in a small pot. Drop in a spoonful of honey and heat the mixture. Stir to dissolve every grain. Pour warm syrup over the baked layers. The liquid seeps into each pocket. Let it sit and cool. Slice and serve.
