Time 1h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb phyllo pastry, thawed if frozen
1 cup butter, melted at room temp
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups chopped walnuts
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup honey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325. Layer half of the sheets of phyllo one sheet at a time, in a greased 11x7x2 baking pan, brushing each sheet evenly with butter and folding ends over if necessary to fit into pan.
  • Keep unused sheets covered with plastic wrap while assembling baklava to prevent drying.
  • Mix 1/4 cup of the sugar and cinnamon; stir in walnuts.
  • Sprinkle nut mixture evenly over buttered phyllo in pan.
  • Layer remaining phyllo, one sheet at a time, over nut mixture, brushing each sheet evenly with butter.
  • Cut diagonally into squares, cutting completely through all layers.
  • Bake in preheated oven until crisp and golden, about one hour.
  • Combine remaining sugar, the water, lemon juice and honey in small saucepan; cook and stir over low heat until sugar dissolves.
  • Heat to boiling; pour evenly over hot baklava.
  • Let stand loosely covered 8 hours or overnight.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my baklava turned out dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I've tried many baklava recipes, but this one is by far the best. The phyllo dough was crispy and the filling was moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again!
