Baklava
Baklava is a Middle Eastern specialty. Baklava is made in many shapes I decided to make them in rolls. Instead of honey I used combination of sugar and honey to glaze and flavored with cardamom. Baklava is made using phyllo dough ; it is available in frozen section where you can find puff pastries in supermarkets. I bought Athens Pyhllo dough at Target. Recipe will make 24 pieces Ingredients 12 sheets of phyllo dough 1 1/2 cup clarified butter 1 1/2 cup ground almond 1 1/2 cup ground walnuts 3 tbsp pistachios 3/4 cup coconut powder 1 1/2 teaspoon cardamom 3 1/4 cup of sugar Syrup 1 1/2 cup sugar 1 cup water 1/8 cup honey 2 teaspoon lemon juice About 2 tablespoon sliced pistachios for garnish Note Be sure to thaw the phyllo dough using the instruction from the package, phyllo dough should be at room temperature before using. Do not open the package until you are ready to use. Unused sheets roll them in clear plastic wrap and refrigerate ....
