How to cook

Prepare nuts

In a bowl, toss the chopped nuts and ground cinnamon evenly.

Prepare honey sauce

In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, honey & vanilla extract.
Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the syrup cool.

Prepare baklava layers

On the buttered pan, lay 2 sheets of filo pastry sheets (make sure to cut them to the pan’s size).
Then, butter the top sheet evenly.
Repeat this 4 more times until you have 8 layered sheets in total.
Sprinkle the nut mixture on the pastry sheets.
Then layer another 2 filo pastry sheets above and coat with butter.
Repeat this once more.
Use a sharp knife to cut your pastry into diamond shapes all the way to the bottom of the pan.

Start baking

Preheat the oven to 175°C.
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes until the baklava is golden and crisp.
Finally, remove the baklava from the oven and immediately scoop the honey sauce over it.
Let it cool and it’s ready to serve!
