Hello everybody, hope you’re having an amazing day today. Today, I will show you a way to make a tasty dish, baklava. One of my favorites food recipes. This time, I’m gonna make it a bit tasty. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

Baklava is one of the most popular of current trending meals in the world. It is enjoyed by millions every day. It is easy, it is fast, it tastes yummy. They’re fine and they look wonderful. Baklava is something which I’ve loved my entire life.

CUT the baklava after assembly and before cooking, and top with butter to make everything smooth and "pretty". Put the cooled sauce on as soon as you pull the baklava out of the oven. It tastes like the baklava I buy in the Greek stores downtown and a LOT cheaper per piece.

To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have baklava using 10 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Baklava:

1. Make ready 150 Grams Walnuts
2. Prepare 100 Grams Almonds , peeled
3. Take 75 Grams Pistachio
4. Get 200 Grams Sugar
5. Prepare 0.5 Teaspoon Cinnamon Ground
6. Take 250 Grams Butter
7. Take 500 Grams Fillo Sheets
8. Prepare 125 Millilitres Honey
9. Take 150 Millilitres Water
10. Prepare 1 Lemon

Many ethnic festivals are held in my city throughout the year. One in May is the Greek Hellenic Festival. My family enjoys baklava—a traditional walnut strudel. The recipe uses phyllo dough, which is not difficult to work with.

Instructions to make Baklava:

1. Coarsely grind or chop the walnuts, almonds and pistachio nuts.
2. Mix the walnuts, almonds, 50g of the pistachio nuts, the cinnamon and 4 tbsp. of sugar.
3. Melt the butter in a pan.
4. Cut the fillo leaves to the size of your baking pan by stacking them on top of each other, putting the pan on top of them and cutting around it with a sharp knife.
5. Butter the baking pan, add 1/4th of the fillo leaves one by one, basting each one generously with the melted butter. Add 1/3rd of the nut mixture on top of it.
6. Continue making layers with another 1/4th of the fillo leaves, followed by 1/3rd of the nut mixture and so on. The top layer will thus be fillo leaves.
7. Cut the finished "layer cake" into rhomboid shapes using a sharp knife.
8. Bake at 200C for approximately 25 minutes or until gold brown.
9. While the baklava is in the oven, gently heat the honey, the water and the remaining sugar until you obtain a thick syrup. Add a dash of lemon juice and some lemon zests.
10. Let the syrup cool down a little. Take the baklava out of the oven and let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
11. Slowly pour the syrup over the baklava. Decorate with the remaining pistachio nuts and let stand to cool down completely.

Just have your ingredients ready to go and follow the directions on the package. The results are scrumptious and well worth the effort. Whereas it is most common to find baklava made entirely with walnuts here in Greece, I prefer a combination with almonds. Cut a diagonal diamond pattern in the baklava using a very sharp knife. Garnish baklava with finely chopped nuts or drizzle with melted chocolate.
