BAKLAVA RECIPE - BBC FOOD



Baklava recipe - BBC Food image

A small slice of baklava goes a long way, especially with a tiny cup of strong coffee. This sticky-sweet, flaky and nutty treat is fragrant with orange blossom water, which makes it utterly moreish. Serve after a mezze feast.

Provided by BBC Food

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 1 hours

Yield Serves 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 9

18 sheets ready-made filo pastry (unwrap and keep under a damp tea-towel until you are ready to use)
150g/5oz unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
200g/7oz mixed pistachios and walnuts, roughly chopped
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cardamom
300g/10½fl oz granulated sugar
250ml/9fl oz water
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp orange blossom water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
  • Grease a 17cm x 28cm (11in x 7in) baking tray with butter.
  • Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan over low heat or in a microwave.
  • Lay 10 sheets of filo pastry, one at a time, into the tray, brushing each sheet with butter before adding the next.
  • In a clean bowl, mix together the nuts, sugar and cardamom and spread the mixture over the pastry in the tray.
  • Layer up the remaining sheets on top of the nut mixture, brushing each sheet with butter, as before.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut a criss-cross pattern into the top layers of the pastry.
  • Place baklava in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, then decrease the oven temperature to 150C/300F/Gas 2 and cook for an additional half hour to 40 minutes, or until the pastry is slightly puffed and golden on top. Do not allow the top to burn. Remove and allow to cool slightly.
  • For the syrup, heat the sugar, water, lemon juice and orange blossom water in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook over a medium heat until the sugar has melted and a syrup is formed. (This will take about 20 minutes or so.)
  • Pour the syrup into the slits in the baklava and leave to cool. Cut into small diamond-shaped pieces and serve.
