Hello everybody, it is Louise, welcome to my recipe site. Today, I’m gonna show you how to prepare a special dish, baklava. One of my favorites. This time, I will make it a little bit tasty. This will be really delicious.

Baklava is one of the most favored of current trending meals in the world. It is enjoyed by millions every day. It’s easy, it’s quick, it tastes delicious. Baklava is something that I have loved my entire life. They’re fine and they look fantastic.

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 get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook baklava using 6 ingredients and 15 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make Baklava:

1. Make ready 800 grams walnuts

3. Take 1600 ml sugar sirup
4. Make ready 2 tbsp grated lemon peel
5. Get 30 ml fresh lime juice
6. Get 750 grams butter

Cut a diagonal diamond pattern in the baklava using a very sharp knife. Whereas it is most common to find baklava made entirely with walnuts here in Greece, I prefer a combination with almonds. Many ethnic festivals are held in my city throughout the year. One in May is the Greek Hellenic Festival.

Steps to make Baklava:

1. Preparing the sugar sirup: mix 800 grams of sugar with 800 ml or water in the cooking potand heat them until the sugar is melted. After boiling take off the cooking pot from the hob and mix it with the fresh lemon juice. This will preserve the liquid from cristalizing.

My family enjoys baklava—a traditional walnut strudel. The recipe uses phyllo dough, which is not difficult to work with. Just have your ingredients ready to go and follow the directions on the package. The results are scrumptious and well worth the effort. Garnish baklava with finely chopped nuts or drizzle with melted chocolate.
