It is SO important that the syrup is hot when you pour it over, otherwise it won't soak properly. DIRECTIONS Make syrup first so that it can come to room temperature: In a small saucepan, combine honey, sugar and water. Bring to a slow boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved. Baklava is layers of ground nuts and phyllo dough drizzled with a spiced honey syrup after it's done baking.
Baklava with Lemon Syrup step by step
Start off by making the syrup, so that this has cooled off by the time the pastry is done. In a sauce pan add the Sugar, Water, Lemon Peel let this boil at medium heat. You will know when the syrup is ready by doing this test, take a knife and just pour two drops of the syrup to the tip of the knife tip it over, if the syrup rolls off slowly then its ready. :).
While the syrup is boiling, melt the butter and set aside. Separate the dough sheets into two halves, then take a baking pan and brush the pan with the butter and start adding in a dough sheet, one at a time…and brush each sheet with butter. Add and brush very simple to do. When you have finished the first half of the dough sheets, add in the mixture. Take all the excess dough sheets and cover the mixture, butter the sheets and continue adding the rest of the dough sheets and butter..
If you have left over butter spread it over the top of the Baklava and brush thoroughly. With a sharp knife start cutting into the pie and cut small pieces diagonally, but keep in mind not to cut all the way down, cut just so that you have made small pieces. Bake until golden brown at 180 degrees. Once your Baklava has been baked, pour on the cold syrup and let it sit until the syrup has been absorbed. :) Kali Orexi!.
This stuff is sweet but not too sweet, the syrup is perfectly flavored with lemon, honey and cinnamon. Traditionally, walnuts are used but I used pecans. You can also use almonds or pistachios, or even a combination of nuts. While baklava is baking, combine sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. TO MAKE THE SYRUP Place the sugar, water and lemon juice in a pot on the stovetop.
