Fast and Easy Baklava image

What could be better than having an ooey gooey piece of easy to make baklava? Hint: To keep filo from drying out, place a damp towel over remaining filo while you work. When the filo sheets are larger than the pan you are using fold the excess over toward the center of the pan. It will make the dessert a bit thicker.

I'm not a big fan of baklava, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. It wasn't too sweet and the phyllo dough was nice and crispy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my baklava didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. Not sure what went wrong.

The baklava turned out great! I used store-bought phyllo dough to save time, and it still came out perfectly.

This baklava recipe is amazing! The phyllo dough was crispy and flaky, and the filling was perfectly sweet and nutty. I'll definitely be making this again.
