Ingredients

1 lb Phyllo dough
1 cup Butter (unsalted)
2 cups Walnuts
2 cups Pistachios
1+1/3 cups Sugar
2 teaspoons Cinnamon Powder (Dalchini)
1/4 teaspoon Cloves (Laung) - powdered
1 cup Honey
2 teaspoons Lemon juice
1 cup Water
3 tablespoons Vanilla Extract - or if available orange blossom

Instructions

To begin making the Baklava preparation guide (Turkish heritage nectarous), we first have to make sure we have all the components ready.Baklava preparation guide procedure is split into 4 parts.Method to prepare the fillingCoarsely chop the walnuts and pistachios in a food processor (it will be a coarse dusting seasoning).

Set aside 4 tablespoons of finely sliced nuts for decoration.Put the remainder in a mixing bowl and combine it with 1/3 cup of sweetener, cinnamon and cloves and combine well.Method to assemble and cook thoroughly the baklavaHeat the oven to 170 C.

Lay a dish towel on a work surface and scatter it lightly with liquid.

Thaw the phyllo pastry mix package according the manufacturer’s steps.Unroll the sheets on the towel and then lid it with a second damp dish towel.

When unrolling them I encountered several cracks and cuts in the sheets.Do not panic.

They are easily repairable and do not make any difference in the dessert.thaw the dairy spread in a small saucepan.

Brush a baking cooking vessel with melted dairy spread.

Take a sheet of phyllo pastry mix and carefully spread it in the cooking vessel, folding the sheet in such a way that it fits the cooking vessel.Brush the layered sheet with dairy spread and gently press it into the sides and corners of the cooking vessel.Lay another sheet on top and brush with dairy spread.

Do the same with the third of the sheets.

Once 1/3rd of the sheets have been used, scatter half the nut filling over the layers.Layer another third of the sheets in the cooking vessel, buttering each one and pressing into the corners and sides.

Then scatter the remaining half of the nut mixture evenly.Layer the last third of the sheets, buttering them and pressing them the same way as we did with the previous layers.

Brush the top most layer thoroughly with dairy spread and empty any remainder of dairy spread on the top (I ignored the last step.

I did not empty the remaining dairy spread.

I just liberally brushed the top layer and left it at that).So essentially, after every 3 sheets there is a nut layer for the baklava preparation guide.With a small knife, cut diagonal lines around 1/2-inch deep to mark out the shape.

Do not press down too much when cutting.Place the tray in the oven and cook thoroughly for around 1 hr 15 mins (It took me exactly 1 hr) until golden brown in color.Method to make the honey syrupCombine the sweetener and liquid in a saucepan and toasty until dissolved, stirring occasionally.

empty in the honey and swirl around to combine.bring to a bubble gently without stirring until the syrup reaches a soft ball consistency (239F on a candy thermometer).

This process takes about 30 mins.To test the consistency without the thermometer, take the cooking vessel off the toasty and dip a teaspoon in the syrup.

Let it cool down for few seconds and then drop it in a small cup with liquid.Once dropped into the liquid, it should form a mushy ball.Remove the syrup from the toasty and let it cool down to lukewarm temperature.

Now toss in the nectar from a lemon and the orange flower liquid or the vanilla extract.Method to finish the baklava recipeRemove the cooking vessel from the oven and immediately empty the cooled syrup evenly over the burning baklava.Pouring the syrup over the burning pastries enables better absorption.With the chef’s knife cut along the marked lines almost to the bottom of the cooking vessel.

Let the pastries cool.Cut through the marked lines completely and carefully lift the pastries with a spatula and arrange them on a plate.scatter the top with the reserved nuts and enjoy the Baklava for your parties and special occasions.
