I am decidedly not a baker but I do make baklava. Usual method is a mash-up of Baklava, Baklawa by ChefCrash (clicky) plus another recipe and some improvisation. I like to enhance the syrup with cinnamon or canela, cloves, lemon zest, honey, and maybe some cardamom.
Used pecans for the nut filling, mixed with sugar and rose water.
I used to bring baklava to potlucks at work. We will be seeing some former co-workers on Friday and they specifically requested baklava. Hope it doesn't disappoint.
Just out of the oven - we shall see how it tastes in a couple of days.
