How To Make baklava
-
1For the syrup: in a saucepan dissolve the sugar in the water over medium heat then add the lemon juice. Bring to boil then let it boil softly for 15 - 20 minutes. Set aside to cool while you make the baklava.
-
2For the baklava: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a large rectangular oven pan with melted butter. Take half the filo sheets and lay them in the pan.
-
3Spread the chopped nuts evenly on top, sprinkle with the cinnamon then add the rest of the filo sheets. Cut into diamonds or squares. Using a brush spread the melted butter over the top concentrating on the cut lines and around the rim so that it would penetrate through the layers.
-
4Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or till light golden brown. Take out of the oven and immediately pour the cool syrup all over.
