My mom has been preparing this baklava for ages and I always thought that her baklava is the best. When I was a kid, I would've stick my fork right in the middle and eat my piece by unrolling baklava until I've reached the very center :) I've later tried other types of this great dessert, but this one still takes a special place in my heart.
Ingredients:
750 g of sugar boil down to a thick syrup with 650 g of water, add 1 lemon cut into rings or slices and 1 pack of vanilla sugar (10 g).
Preparation:
Ingredients:
- 500 g of phyllo dough for pie (around 20 layers)
- oil for sprinkling layers
- 3 eggs
- 3 tbs of sugar
- 200 g of ground walnuts
- half a teaspoon of cinnamon
- half a teaspoon of cocoa
750 g of sugar boil down to a thick syrup with 650 g of water, add 1 lemon cut into rings or slices and 1 pack of vanilla sugar (10 g).
Preparation:
- Divide layers into 5 equal parts, to later obtain 5 equal rolls (4 layers for one roll). If less layers in the package, reduce number of layers for 1 roll.
- Beat eggs and sugar, add nuts and spices. Divide filling into 5 parts.
- Each layer sprinkle with a little oil and apply filling on the 4th layer and roll. Repeat the procedure 5 times.
- Align rolls in a baking pan sprinkled with oil. Cut all 5 rolls to equal pieces. Sprinkle some oil on top.
- Bake baklava at 200 C degrees to get golden yellow color. Chill and pour over hot syrup. Leave to soak well then serve.
