Materials:
- 1 pack of baklava dough
- 2 cups walnuts (you can also use optional hazelnuts)
- 1 cup butter
- Half a glass of oil
- half glass of water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Half a tea glass of starch
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Fabrication:
-
First, lightly heat the butter in a pan to melt it. Then add oil and mix. Remove this mixture from the stove and let it cool.
-
Chop the walnuts into large pieces. If you want, you can add hazelnuts to add a different flavor.
-
To prepare the sherbet, put water and granulated sugar in a deep pot. Stir over medium heat until it starts to boil. After boiling, add lemon juice and boil for another 5 minutes. Then remove the pot from the stove and let it cool.
-
Lay the baklava dough on your counter. Cover the dough with a damp cloth to prevent them from sticking together.
-
Using the butter-oil mixture you prepared, grease each baklava phyllo with a brush. Place the first sheet of dough on the tray. Spread a few layers of dough on top and sprinkle walnuts in between.
-
Sprinkle starch over the walnuts. This will absorb the moisture in the baklava and make the dough crispy.
-
Spread the remaining dough in the same way and sprinkle walnuts between them. You can also add cinnamon if you want. After laying the last sheet of dough, drizzle the butter-oil mixture over the baklava.
-
Slice the baklava into squares or any other shape you like. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees until it turns golden brown. Pour the hot baklava from the oven over the cold syrup.
-
Leave it to rest for at least 2-3 hours so that the syrup poured over the baklava completely absorbs the dough. Then you can slice it and serve it.
