The ingredients needed to make Baklava:

1. Take 1 packages Phyllo dough (comes with 2 rolls)
2. Get 4 cup Pecans or Walnuts (I use pecans)
3. Prepare 1 tsp Cinnamon
4. Make ready 1 1/2 stick Butter (melted)
5. Prepare 2 cup Honey (16oz)
6. Make ready 1/2 cup Water
7. Make ready 1/2 cup Sugar
8. Take 3 tsp Vanilla extract
9. Prepare 1 tbsp American Honey whiskey (optional)
10. Make ready 1 stick Butter (for sauce)

USE PISTACHIOs is the key to a more original baklava (according to my Turkish hubby). Walnuts are cheaper but pistachios definately make the baklava tastes better. Skip all those cloves and cinnamon, that stuff is for the Americanized taste. Taste the nut, butter and the good syrup.

Steps to make Baklava:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350. Unroll the phyllo dough and place a moist kitchen towel over the sheets. Do NOT let the dough d
2. Generously butter your choice of baking pan. If the phyllo dough is a lot larger trim the dough with kitchen scissors. You will always be using 2 phyllo sheets at a time.
3. Melt butter (1 1/2 sticks)
4. Mix nuts and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside
5. Pick up 2 phyllo sheets and place into the buttered baking dish
6. Using a basting brush, brush melted butter onto the phyllo sheets you placed in the baking dish
7. Repeat steps 5 & 6 three more times
8. Sprinkle nuts on top of the buttered phyllo. (A single layer that covers the dough)
9. Pick up 2 phyllo sheets and place on top the nuts, butter, add nuts
10. Repeat until you run out of nuts (approx 4 more times)
11. Now begin layering and buttering just the phyllo dough like in steps 5 & 6. Repeat 4-5x
12. Using a sharp knife, cut into squares and then into a diamond pattern. Place in the oven for 30-40 min or when the baklava is a deep golden brown.
13. In a saucepan melt 1 stick of butter, water, sugar, honey, vanilla, whiskey (optional). Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes
14. Remove baklava from the oven and slowly pour 1/2 the sauce over the golden baklava. Once absorbed, pour the remaining sauce.
15. Allow the baklava to cool uncovered for serval hours. It tastes better with time. Note: It can get soggy if covered.

Skip all those cloves and cinnamon, that stuff is for the Americanized taste. Taste the nut, butter and the good syrup. One in May is the Greek Hellenic Festival. My family enjoys baklava—a traditional walnut strudel. Baklava is a delicious phyllo pastry popular in Middle Eastern countries.
