Pecan and almond baklava instructions
Step 1: Add sugar and water to a saucepan and boil till sugar has dissolved and a little sticky.. Once sticky and clear, add in golden syrup and lemon juice.. Allow to cool…
Step 2: Put nuts in food processor and grind till finely chopped(do not make smooth). Add in cinnamon powder and mix well… (make sure nuts r ground fine or it will make holes in the phyllo..
Step 3: Take phyllo sheet and cut in half… Place 1 piece on worktop lengthwise with the long side in front of you. Brush with melted butter and ghee mix.. Place another sheet on top and brush again with butter.. Sprinkle nut and cinnamon mixture.. About 3 tsp(dont put too much). Take dowel and roll up (but not too tight)-see pic. Once it’s all rolled up, place each hand on both ends of the rolled phyllo, carefully push both ends towards the center to scrunch it up. (cleobuttera pictures).
Step4: Remove skewer and place in a greased tray/casserole.. Repeat till casserole is full.. Cut into 4 pieces. If you have extra butter mixture, pour it over the rolls.. Bake on 160 for +-70mins or till golden brown.(cleobuttera pictures).
Step 5: Remove from oven and pour cooled syrup on immediately whilst hot… Decorate with crushed almond mix/rose petals, etc.
Variations: Pista makes amazing decoration(and changes up the taste a little) Add a few drops of rose essence in ur syrup and decorate with edible rose petals..
If you don't have a food processor, you can certainly do this by hand. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. When you remove the baklava from the oven, drizzle half the saucepan evenly all over the top. Traditionally, baklava syrup is made with sugar, water, and honey. To get the pecan pie flavor, I substituted dark corn syrup for the honey and voila: Pecan Pie Baklava.
