Baklava Lena

Updated: Mar 11

  • Baklava is of Turkish origin, but Serbs picked up this delicacy, and it is regularly made on the eve of New Year's holidays or some other celebrations. My mom's old recipe, including mine, is always phenomenal when I make it, and everyone asks me how good this recipe is. You know that baklava is made with a lot of sugar, but there is not that much of it in this recipe, which is why this baklava is extra tasty and delicious. Try this recipe, I believe that once you make it, you will always make it that way. I always stick to this recipe because it’s fantastic!!! Follow recipe.

Ingredients: simple, total time: 90 min.

Fill:

  • 4 eggs

  • 200 g sugar

  • 1 cup sour cream/200 ml

  • 1 cup of 200 ml oil

  • 1 Lemon peel grated

Especially walnuts

  • 450-500 g ground walnuts minced finely+ baking powder 5 g

When baking is poured with syrup:

  • 500 ml of water

  • And 1 lemon juice

Baklava procedure:
  1. First make baklava syrup, mix all ingredients and cook for 15–20 minutes.

  2. Then prepare the ingredients for the filling, mix it all, beat the eggs with the sugar, add the oil, sour cream, vanilla sugar.

  3. Blend all walnuts and mix with the baking powder.

  4. Put the first crust in a greased large pan. Grease it with 3 tablespoons of filling so that it covers each edge of the crust. Then put the second crust, put the filling and then just sprinkle the blended walnuts with 4 tablespoons or more. Then repeat each crust with the same filling + walnuts, and count that there is one crust left for the very top of the baklava where nothing is placed.

  5. When you get to the end, last crust cut with a slit knife the baklava into cubes or triangles, before baking.

  6. Bake in the oven at 180 °C, cover with aluminum foil for 30 minutes. Then remove the aluminum foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes.

  7. Baklava must get a golden brown color like caramel!

  8. This with baking baklava is very important!

  9. When the baklava is done, so hot, pour cold syrup over it and leave it to cool. The recipe is mine, and it’s phenomenal, and I always make this baklava, and they are incredibly delicious.
