Ingredients:
Fillo dough
1/2 pound Unsalted butter
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 cups Sugar
1 tsp. Cardamom
Almonds
1 tsp. Lemon Juice
1 1/2 cups Water
Crushed Pistachios
Direction:
First, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Next, melt the
butter over very low heat. Combine freshly ground
cardamom cinnamon in a small bowl. Lay two layers of
fillo dough on a baking sheet, and pour two tablespoons
of melted butter over the dough. Use a pastry brush to
spread the butter. Next, sprinkle a thin layer of fresh
almond nuts, and a small amount of the cinnamon/cardamom
mixture. Repeat this until you have several layers. On
the top layer, only spread melted butter. Bake the
baklava at 375 degrees, until the fillo dough is golden
brown. At this point, remove the baklava from the oven
and prepare the syrup.
For the syrup: Combine one and one-half cups of water
with one and one-half cups of sugar, and one teaspoon of
fresh lemon juice. Bring the mix to a boil, turn down
the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. While the baklava is
still warm, cut it into small triangle shapes and
drizzle the syrup over the baklava. To finish, sprinkle
with crushed pistachio nuts.
