Baklava. Combine the nuts, cinnamon and ground crackers in a bowl. USE PISTACHIOs is the key to a more original baklava (according to my Turkish hubby). Walnuts are cheaper but pistachios definately make the baklava tastes better.
You can have Baklava using 5 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you achieve it.
Ingredients of Baklava
- Prepare 15 sheets of pastry.
- Prepare 1 cup of chopped dryfruits.
- Prepare 1 cup of sugar syrup.
- It’s 4 Tsp of melted butter.
- It’s 1 Tsp of rose water.
Many layers of filo dough, separated with melted butter and vegetable oil, are laid in the pan. A layer of chopped nuts—typically walnuts or pistachios, but hazelnuts are also sometimes used—is placed on top, then more layers of filo. Most recipes have multiple layers of filo and nuts, though some have only top and bottom pastry. One in May is the Greek Hellenic Festival.

My family enjoys baklava—a traditional walnut strudel. Baklava is the quintessential Greek dessert. Who can resist the layers of delicate, buttered phyllo dough filled with cinnamon and walnuts? Its richness is further enhanced and sweetened with the drizzle of honey, cinnamon, and citrus-flavored syrup. Baklava is served at most Greek weddings and holidays.
