Baklava Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound of chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pistachios are best, or use a combination of them)
- 1 pound of phyllo dough
- 1 cup of butter, melted
- 1/3 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/3 teaspoon of ground cloves
- 1 cup of water
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of honey
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 cinnamon stick
- Finely ground pistachios for garnish (optional)
Method
1. Lightly grease a 9"x13" pan and set the oven to 350°F.
2. Thaw the phyllo dough according to manufacturer's directions (this may take overnight). When thawed, roll out the dough and cut the dough in half so the sheets will fit in the pan. Cover the phyllo dough with a damp towel to keep it from drying out.
