Baklava
Ingredients
Ingredients
For Syrup
Instructions
  1. Get a pan well buttered and start layering phyllo dough with each layer butter until you have about 8 layers.
  2. Add a layer of chopped walnuts.
  3. Layer more phyllo on top as you have done the bottom 8 layers.
  4. Cut it diagonally the whole way through. (Cutting it before cooking is the trick to making it.)
  5. Cook it in a 300’F (149’C) oven until it has crisped up and you smell the walnuts.
  6. While this is in the oven, add all the syrup ingredients together in a pot to make a medium syrup.
  7. When you remove the baklava, let it cool a little then pour syrup over and let set, just enough to be absorbed into the baklava.
  8. Since you cut it first, it is ready to serve.
