How this kind of dish is made

The source documents this dish but not a method specific to it. The steps below describe how dishes of this kind are generally made.

  1. Roll the dough very thin or arrange pastry layers in a pan, lightly greasing between layers.

  2. Spread the nut and spice filling between the layers.

  3. Cut into portions and bake until golden.

  4. Pour warm syrup over the baked pastry and let it absorb as it cools.

Cook's notes

Keep unused pastry sheets covered while working so they do not dry out. After adding syrup, let the baklava cool without a heavy cover to preserve crispness.

Background
