CEVİZLİ BAKLAVA





BAKLAVA WITH WALNUT


I don't need to say anything about baklava, it speaks itself :)... Don't you agree?



Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. fillo dough
  • 2 sticks of salted butter ( melted )

filling
  • 1+1/2 cups of crushed walnuts
syrup
  • 1+1/2 cups of sugar
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 tbs of lemon juice
In a medium pot , combine syrup ingredients and boil it for ten minutes on a medium heat. Turn off the heat and let the syrup cool down.
Divide fillo sheets into two equal parts. Brush bottom and sides of a baking tray ( 13" 17" inches ) with melted butter. Lay 3 sheets of fillo at a time, brush melted butter over entire surface . When you are done with first half, spread the filling all over covering the whole surface. Repeat with second half of fillo sheets, brushing 3 layers with melted butter. Brush separately when there are four or five sheets left.
Preheat to oven 300F. Using a sharp knife, cut deep into sheets, making rectangle shapes.



When you are finished, brush the last layer with melted butter.

Bake for about 1 hour or until nicely brown and fluffy, remove from oven, wait
three to four minutes and spoon cold syrup over.

Busracigim,tesekkurler...
Ben her ikisiyle de denedim ama salted butter'la yaptigim daha hos oldu. O cok hafif gelen tuz tadi benim hosuma gitti. Zaten oyle cok cok farkedilen bir tat degil, dene istersen, belki hoslanirsin.
