Baklava with Thin Crust

Updated: Feb 14

  • Baklava is a favorite delicacy of both Turks and Serbs, as well as in Greece, because all those countries have historical importance in gastronomy. Baklava can be made of walnuts and pistachios in combination with raisins and almonds, and even hazelnuts. There are several variants, but for me this is the most beloved and old classic recipe, which is classic and everyone loves it. Follow recipe.

Ingredients: simple, total time: 70 min
  • 500 g of thin pie crust

  • 400-500 g ground walnuts

  • 1 melted butter 250 g

  • 700 g of sugar/ if you like less sweet like me, about 500 g

  • 400 ml of water

  • 1 lemon juice and slices


Preparation:
  1. Coat each crust with melted margarine, and add ground walnuts to every third crust, pour the rest of the butter over the crust.

  2. Cut into cubes or triangles.

  3. Bake at 200 °C for the first 10 minutes.

  4. Reduce to 180 °C and bake for the next 30 minutes at 180 °C.

  5. At the end of baking, increase the temperature again to 200 °C and bake for another 10 minutes. When the cake is cooled, make the syrup.

  6. Make the lemon sugar syrup, I have put 500 g because I don't like it too sweet! Cook until the sugar melts and becomes syrupy. Pour the hot syrup over the cold cake. Enjoy in bites!
