Description ::

Delicious Middle Eastern pastry. A little time consuming to make, but well worth the effort.

 

Make the syrup first:

Put all ingredients in pot and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Simmer until thick enough to coat a spoon. Strain, cool, then chill in freezer for around half an hour.

 

Grab a square/rectangle baking dish and grease bottom and sides with brush and melted butter.

You will probably have to cut the filo so it will fit in the dish, without going up the sides. Just line it up and cut through it with a sharp knife.

Then fit half of the filo sheets in the dish, brushing each one with melted butter.

Mix the chopped nuts/meal and 2tbls of sugar together and spread evenly over the pastry in the dish.

Cover with remaining sheets, brushing each one, including the top layer.

 

With a sharp knife, cut through the layers of filo diagonally, to make diamond shapes.

Bake Baklava for 20minutes in preheat oven at 180C, then raise heat to 220C and bake for another 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from oven and spoon cold syrup over the hot pastry. Allow to cool. When cold and ready to serve, recut diamond shapes and remove.
