Sweet Baklava

Baklava is a layered sweet pastry made from phyllo dough, mixed nuts and honey or syrup. It is featured in the cuisines of Central Asia, Arab and Iranian countries.

I saw how it is made on TV once and have been curious ever since. A group of friends had lunch together after mass last Sunday and the restaurant we went to was right beside a Baklava Factory cafe.

After lunch, my husband and I decided to get a few baklavas to go. The pastry was very sweet, it was moist with syrup and the pastry crumbled when you bit into it. It was delicious and very very rich - one serving will be more than enough to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Great with coffee, it's truly a treat. If you've never tried this exotic dessert, I recommend it whole-heartedly. You must taste this sweet at least once in your life. Happy eating!
