Undoubtedly the most delicious baklava I have ever tried was on one of my holidays in Turkey. That incredible taste and that melt-in-your-mouth crispness are unattainable for me.
Today I will show you how my grandmother taught me to prepare this sweet temptation.
I really love baklava, but I make it very rarely because it is a real calorie bomb.

Ingredients:

1 package of phyllo pastry sheets
800g walnuts
250g butter
1 tsp sugar

For the syrup:

1kg sugar
1l water
vanilla
1/2 lemon

Preparation:

First make the syrup. Put the water and sugar on the stove and boil for 10-15 min. Add the vanilla and juice of half a lemon and leave to cool in the fridge.

Mix the walnuts and sugar. Melt the butter and brush the bottom and sides of the pan. Divide the sheets into 3 parts (my package had 18 crusts). Brush each sheet with butter and arrange 6 sheets into the tray, put half of the walnuts. Arrange 6 more sheets and spread the other half of walnuts. Then the last 6 sheets. Don't forget to spread each Don't forget to spread each sheet with butter.

When everything is ready, we need to cut the baklava. I prefer to cut the baklava into small rhomboids big enough for one bite.🙂
Pour the remaining melted butter over the baklava and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C
