bear in mind, a recipe for one person is different for another, i like plenty of tomato ketchup and some sugar in my spaghetti bolognesse, other people's tastes differ, as shown in the substitution show, if you dont like something about a recipe, sub it.

this is more of a persian recipe... when i was in Greece, all the baklava i had used lemon juice instead of rose water

One good reason would be the price difference; butter being a lot cheaper than the corresponding amount of ghee. I make mine in the microwave all the time by nuking a stick of butter in 1 minute intervals for a total of about 6 minutes or until the milk solids turn brown on the bottom of the bowl.

instead of going to all that hooplah clarifying the butter, why not just buy a jar of ghee?

"Yeah, 8 hours. I said it was good and I said it was easy. I never said it was fast." One of many things I love about Alton. He'll never lie when it comes to food.

if you're using clarified butter then couldn't you use an atomizer / spray bottle to distribute it instead of brushing?

8:06 I wish I could summon a backdrop like that.

@deepskyblues like "choclava." >_>

[deepskyblues]

@Akademiks315 Of course it can be Americanized. There's absolutely no concept we Americans can't chase down, beat into submission, and mutate into a former shadow of itself that nevertheless suits our jaded tastes.

[Akademiks315]

@deepskyblues I have to disagree, seeing as my father is greek and my step-mother is greek but grew up in Instanbul, and I'v visited Turkey, and to behonest the only thing with flavour is Turkish Delight lol..NO Baklava can't be "Americanized". There is no substitution for for authenic ol'country Baklava handed down for generations and you can't simplify tradition, IE. Jared Spaghetti Sauce and such..
