i m turkish and we make baklava. You forgot to put butter on top!! so ur baklava to crispy and dry i can see its not nice. if u but top baklava 1 small glass butter will be nice and soft butter should be with out salt u can find in tesco silver butter with out salt :)

[rockacookamanga]

should i pour the syrup while its hot right out from the oven or should i wait for it to cool before pouring syrup?

[AubreyMalachi]

Daniel, I have a question. I have a baklava recipe that uses walnuts, pecans, and blanched almonds, and the syrup consists of sugar, orange blossom honey, cinnamon sticks and whole cloves, my question is would rose water pair well with these other flavors i recently purchased a bottle and I am very eager to try it in my baklava recipe, thank you for your time and please respond

[lamelifla72]

[tissouss]

absolutly wrong man,i think that you have to learn a little bit more.baklava is original from turkish,wich was made by a baker of the emperor kitchen,about the fillo blabla it's beacause the translation so this is doesn't mean that the turkish people call it the fillo blabla ok.
