Baklava
Ingredients:
1 lb walnuts, chopped
3 c sugar, white granulated
1lb butter, melted
1 pkg fillo sheets
9x13 Pyrex baking dish
Syrup: 1 cup water and 2 cups sugar
Preparation:
Chop walnuts to medium fine and mix with 1 cup sugar. Melt butter
Cut fillo in half so that each sheet fits bottom of baking pan. Generously butter bottom and sides of baking pan and place fillo, one sheet at a time, in baking pan. Generously spread butter on each sheet of fillo as it is placed in pan. After every 6-8 sheets of fillo spread a layer of walnut mix. Continue layering fillo sheets and walnuts until fillo is used. Pour any remaining butter over top of Baklava
The secret to good flaky Baklava is to have each sheet of Fillo well buttered so that sheets do not stick together. Which a sharp knife, cut Baklava diagonally to form diamond shaped pieces.
Preheat oven to 350 F and bake Baklava for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool it completely.
Mix sugar and water in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat.
Simmer for 20 minutes. Add lemon juice when it comes to boiling. Let it boil for 5 minutes.
Pour boiling syrup over cool Baklava and allow to cool completely again.Recipe
