Classic Baklava

This Baklava recipe features a delicious combination of ground pecans, sweet syrup, and the flaky goodness of phyllo pastry. It’s the perfect dessert to share or enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee.

Ingredients

1 package of phyllo pastry (about 16 oz.), thawed
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups ground pecans
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup water
1 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, mix the ground pecans, sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
Unroll the phyllo pastry and place a sheet on your working surface. Brush the sheet with melted butter. Repeat this process, layering about 8 sheets together, brushing each with butter.
Spread a layer of the nut mixture evenly over the phyllo sheets. Continue layering and buttering the remaining sheets, putting a layer of nut mixture in between every 8 sheets.
Once you finish the last sheet, brush the top with butter and cut the Baklava into diamond or square shapes with a sharp knife.
Bake the Baklava in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.
While the Baklava is baking, prepare the syrup by combining water, honey, and vanilla in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Allow cooling.
When the Baklava is done baking, immediately pour the cooled syrup over it, ensuring it seeps into the layers.
Let it cool completely before serving. Enjoy your homemade Baklava and savor the layers of flaky pastry and rich flavors!

This classic Baklava will surely become a favorite among your friends and family. It’s a dessert that brings joy and sweetness to every occasion!
