INGREDIENTS
18 sheets phyllo dough150 g melted butter/ ghee (Clarified butter) 1 cup powdered sugar ½ cup walnuts½ cup almond nuts½ cup pecan nuts½ tablespoon ground cinnamon (optional) 1 cup sugar½ cup water¼ cup honey
METHOD
*In a food processor, chop the walnuts into tiny pieces or chop with a knifePlace the chopped nuts in a bowl with confectioners' sugar and cinnamon and toss to combine. In a separate bowl, melt the butter.
*Lay out one filo sheet at the time, brushing it with melted butter, until you have a total of three stacked buttered sheets.
*Spread ⅓ cup of the walnut mixture evenly onto the stack of buttered sheets. Roll the sheet up into a tight roll and set it on a baking dish. Repeat the process until you run out of ingredients.
*Brush the rolled baklava with melted butter
*Cut the logs into baby finger size pieces before baking!. *Bake it at 180 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes.
*In a small pot, combine the sugar and water and cook it on low heat for about 10 minutes until it thickens and gets sticky. Add the honey and stir until it's melted. Pour the mixture over the rolled baklava and allow the baklava to rest for at least 3 hours.
*Store in a airtight container ENJOY :)
INFO & TIPS
*Pour cold sugar water over hot baklava or pour hot sugar water over cold baklava for best results
* I used 2 phyllo pastry sheets per log! you can use 3 if you want , depending on how thick you want the baklava to be.
