Baklava

Start by greasing the baking pan with butter.

Next, add the first layer of phyllo dough.

I add about 2 pieces before adding another piece of dough.

Continue this way until you have used half of the dough.

Chop almonds and pistachios very finely!

I use a mini chopper because I find it easier.

Add the chopped nuts to the dough, and now continue the method by adding a piece of dough on top.

Continue with dough and butter until there is no more dough.

When the dough is used, brush butter on top and cut the cake into the pieces you want.

I typically cut mine in different sizes.

Now put your baklava in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit), for about half an hour.

When it is golden, it is done!

Now make the sugar syrup by boiling sugar with water and lemon juice.

Pour this over your baklava as soon as they are out of the oven (the syrup should be cooled before pouring it over! So it is a good idea to make it as soon as the cake is in the oven).

Bon appetit.
