This recipe was given to me years ago by a friend who was known as the go to person for desserts at work. It does takes some short cuts & purists may not like that. But it sure does taste good & it is SO much easier than traditional baklava. I prefer this recipe to the ones with honey. Ingredients:
1 box phyllo dough, thawed |
1 cup butter, melted |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup water |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1 cup finely chopped walnuts |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Place 1 cup sugar, water,& lemon juice in a pan& bring to boil.
2. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Cool.
4. Lay out phyllo dough, cut in half& trim to fit a 9 by 13 pan.
5. Place 1/2 of dough in pan.
6. Combine filling ingredients, and spread over phyllo dough.
7. Cover with 2nd half of dough.
8. With a serrated knife, cut into triangles.
9. Drizzle evenly with melted butter.
10. Bake at 350 degrees for appproximately 30 minutes, till golden brown.
11. Remove from oven& pour cooled syrup over hot baklava.
