butter 'flavoured' oil spray! Are you kidding me!

they sell the oil made ones locally and is inferior! Try clarifying the butter instead if you dont want the saturated butter fat.

Yes, some others I tried tasted pretty bad, that's why I suggested the brand I used. (I sprayed a little on my finger in the store to taste them.) It wasn't about the saturated fat, though, it was to save time and hassle.

love the spray idea!!! I would just be concerned that the "syrup" wouldn't be able to get between the layers of pastry.

[ellenSOnline]

The syrup I use (see other video) is watery thin and I submerge each baklava & let it soak in for several seconds, after they're cooked & cooled. It seems to continue to spread & soak into all layers, making it better the following day (but the oil keeps it from getting soggy.)

Spanakopita is another piece of Turkish inspired "Greek" food, there are many kinds of similar as well as different pastries and pies. Turkish cuisine is one of the most refined and diverse cuisines. More importantly, the food tastes absolutely awesome but somehow Turks have not been able to promote their incredibly delicious food abroad. I'm sorry to say, but the "famous" French and Italian cuisine pale when compared to Turkish cuisine, it doesn't even come close.

Thanks for sharing this really useful technique of folding. Will be great for spanakopita also.

Just seems such a shame seeing the trouble you have gone to, to perhaps compromise it by not using butter. However, anyone that can be bothered to make this stuff deserves respect.

I use pistachio nut filling, with sugar, and nutmeg and then do the usual syrup and add orange zest! Try it. I filter it with a spaghetti strainer, ensuring some of the smaller orangey bits get through. Regards. Love your triangles BTW.
