ROSE WATER AND ORANGE BLOSSOM BAKLAVA
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the walnuts, cinnamon and sugar in a large bowl and set aside. In the bottom of a greased 9 by 13-inch pan, put 1 layer of phyllo and brush liberally with butter. Repeat 6 more times, buttering each delicate layer, until you have 7 layers of phyllo. Spoon 1/3 of the nut mixture over the phyllo and top with 5 more individually buttered sheets of phyllo. Repeat the process 2 more times and finish with 7 layers of phyllo. Brush the final layer with butter and bake until golden brown, about 50 minutes.
- While the baklava is baking, make syrup. Add all of the syrup ingredients to a medium pot and bring to a boil over medium-low heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove the baklava from the oven and pour the syrup evenly over the top. Cut into squares or diamonds and serve.
EXOTIC ORANGE BLOSSOM WATER AND ROSE WATER - MAKE YOUR OWN!
Cooking with unusual ingredients can be very rewarding, and we all love to impress our guests with unusual recipes and flavours. Using rose water and orange blossom water is a way of doing just this, with their unique taste, but purchasing these rare treats can be expensive. I cook with rose water and orange blossom water a lot; especially in historical (Medieval and Victorian) and Middle Eastern recipes. I have numerous highly scented old fashioned shrub roses in my old cottage style walled garden - great for rose water, and also an orange tree - great for making orange blossom water! Although I can buy both scented, flavoured waters in France and England, there is always something very satisfying about making your own - give it a go, I am VERY happy with the results. This recipe was found on a leaflet from a water distilling company in the UK; you DO need to use distilled water for these two recipes, which is easily purchased in most countries - I use it for my steam iron!! NB: Remember to use petals and blossom which are free of pesticides and traffic pollution. (Quantities and yields are dependent on how many blossoms and petals you use.........last time I made rose water, I used 4 ounces of petals and had a yeild of 4 small bottles.)

Steps:
- How to go about making your delicious Rose and Orange Blossom water:.
- Pick your petals and blossom early in the morning, ideally those which have been grown completely organically.
- Rinse the petals and blossom carefully in cold water, taking care to remove all dirt and any pesky insects.
- Crush the petals or blossom with a mortar and pestle, and leave them to rest for a few hours, place them in a jar with some distilled water - don't go overboard with the water as you can always add more later.
- Leave the jar, with the lid on, in the sun for a couple of weeks, and check the scent. If it is too weak, continue to leave in the sun for another week or so.
- Experiment with the quantities of water and petals to see what works for your water, and voila, you will be known as a culinary genius. Good luck and happy cooking!

ROSE WATER OR ORANGE BLOSSOM PANCAKES
This is a nice change from your ordinary pancake. The cardamon goes nicely with the rose water while the cinnamon is a nice addition to the orange blossom water. Note: I have not tried this recipe. It seems that it batter would be dry the way it is listed. Water may need to be added to the mixture.

Steps:
- Mix the flour, baking powder, cardamon (or cinnamon), sugar, and salt in medium bowl.
- Beat the egg, honey, rose water (or orange blossom water) and oil together in small bowl. Then combine the egg mixture with the dry ingredients. Stir until well blended.
- Note: 1/2-1 cup of water may need to be added to the batter to get the right consistency.
- Pour a small amount of almond oil onto griddle then heat. Ladle a small amount of the batter onto the griddle.
- Smooth into a circle then fry until bubbles appear and edges are dry. Flip over & continue to cook until the other side has turned golden.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh rose water and orange blossom water will give your pancakes the best flavor. If you can't find fresh, you can use store-bought, but make sure it's pure and of good quality.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Medium heat will help the pancakes cook evenly without burning. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will brown too quickly on the outside and be raw on the inside.
- Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served hot and fresh. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a preheated oven set to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Rose water and orange blossom water are two delicious and versatile ingredients that can be used to add a unique flavor to your pancakes. Whether you're looking for a light and floral flavor or a more robust and citrusy flavor, these two ingredients can help you create the perfect pancake. So next time you're in the mood for something special, try making a batch of rose water or orange blossom pancakes. You won't be disappointed!
