This is probably my kids’ all time favorite dessert! It is just toooo sweet for me these days, but they love it. Here’s to you my beauties!
Baklava
Ingredients
- 4 cups shelled walnuts ground
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon ground
- ½ tsp cloves ground
- 8 ounces butter melted
- 8-12 ounces honey melted
- 1 pkg phyllo thawed
Instructions
- Grease a 9-1/2 x 7" roasting or cake pan. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix the walnuts, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Set aside.
- Remove one package of phyllo from the container and cut it in half. Cover with a lightly dampened towel to keep the phyllo moist. When you have used all the phyllo from that package, do the same for the second package.
Layering: Create 4 layers
- Lay a sheet of phyllo in the greased pan, it should fit closely to the measurements of the pan. Trim as desired. Using a pastry brush, coat with a thin layer of butter. Repeat until you have five sheets all buttered.
- Add 1/3 of the nut mixture evenly over the phyllo being careful not to pull at it.
- Repeat this process for the other layers ending with five sheets of buttered phyllo.
- Bake at 425 for 7 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F and cool for an additional 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the honey until it is fully melted being careful not to boil.
- when the baklava is done, remove from oven and carefully cut into diamonds or any other shape desired. Drizzle with honey. Let cool completely before serving.
- Enjoy!
